    After enduring scorching heat, Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) finally experienced a much-needed respite as heavy rainfall swept through the area. While the downpour provided relief from the oppressive temperatures, it also led to significant waterlogging across various parts of the city. This duality of relief and frustration was vividly captured and shared by residents on X.

    Visuals and videos of the rain and its aftermath quickly flooded X, with the hashtag #DelhiRains trending as people shared their experiences. A notable video shared by ANI showcased cars stranded on waterlogged streets, emphasising the extent of the issue. The outlet also shared several other clips of waterlogging in various parts of Delhi-NCR.




    One individual highlighted the intensity of the rainfall, stating, "It has been raining continuously in Delhi for the last three hours," alongside a video showing rainwater seeping into a house.

    Neelkant Bakshi, MD of Packolabel Systems Pvt. Ltd., added a touch of humour to the situation with his post. Translating his Hindi caption, he wrote, "It shouldn't have rained so much, Oh God. The drains are not clean here—this is Delhi, Lord! Delhi submerged #DelhiRains." His post included two videos depicting a car nearly submerged in water, underscoring the city's infrastructural challenges during heavy rains.


    X, like Delhi, was absolutely flooded with videos shared by Delhiites expressing a mix of relief and frustration over the cool temperatures after a ruthless and prolonged heatwave and waterlogging of the streets.


    The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued an update on X, stating, "Thunderstorm with light to moderate intensity rain, accompanied by heavy rain in some areas and winds of 20-40 km/h, is expected across Delhi and NCR in the next 2 hours."

    In a subsequent post, the IMD provided important advisories for staying safe during heavy rainfall. They warned that "Moderate to intense rain spells over parts of Delhi-NCR and adjoining areas are likely to cause: Slippery roads, Low visibility, Traffic disruption, and Localised water logging in low-lying areas."

    The department advised, "Avoid areas prone to water logging, and check for traffic congestion on your route."
