WATERLOGGING AND TRAFFIC DISRUPTIONS LIKELY

Continuous rainfall has already caused waterlogging in several parts of Delhi-NCR. Some roads in Noida and Ghaziabad have been heavily affected, with accumulated rainwater slowing down traffic and making commuting difficult.

With Saturday also being a weekend, authorities have advised commuters to plan their journeys carefully. Delhi Traffic Police and local administrations have issued advisories urging people to exercise caution while travelling, particularly through waterlogged areas.

Motorists are advised to avoid roads prone to waterlogging wherever possible and allow extra time for their journeys.

WEATHER EXPECTED TO REMAIN UNSETTLED

The rainy conditions are likely to continue over the next few days, with the IMD indicating that weather conditions across Delhi-NCR may remain unsettled for around three days.

The ongoing showers have brought a noticeable drop in temperatures, providing relief from the heat and humidity. However, residents should remain alert as heavy rain could once again result in waterlogging and traffic disruptions.

Authorities have also announced school closures in several districts in view of the prevailing weather conditions. Residents are advised to follow local administration and weather updates before stepping out.
