The heavy downpour that recently flooded Delhi is set to subside, according to India Meteorological Department (IMD). The city's residents can expect a cloudy sky with light to moderate rainfall and thundershowers on Tuesday, with temperatures ranging from a comfortable 25 to 31 degrees Celsius, according to the IMD.
According to Kuldeep Srivastava, the head of IMD's regional weather forecasting centre, the high-intensity rains are expected to end in the next few days. Over the next week the national capital is expected to receive very light to light rain while normal monsoon rain is expected for the rest of the week in Delhi, according to IMD.
Waterlogging in Delhi following heavy rain
According to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi’s (MCD) monsoon report, 23 complaints of waterlogging across the city were received on Monday. These areas include Khirki Extension, Kirti Nagar furniture market, Mayur Vihar Phase 1, Budh Nagar, Prem Nagar, and Banda Bahadur Marg. Fallen trees were reported in areas like Anand Vihar D Block, East of Kailash, Miranda House in Delhi University (DU) North Campus, Ashok Niketan, and Naraina.
The Delhi Traffic Police received 13 additional complaints of waterlogging from other areas. All government and MCD schools in Delhi remained closed on Monday and Tues due to disruptions caused by heavy rain.
Residents in the city took to social media to share photos and videos of inundated roads during the weekend’s torrential downpour. At the same time, the heavy rains turned several areas of the city into rivers and floodplains.
I don't think Delhi is getting as much love and attention as Bangalore gets when it floods.
