Rains lash Delhi again, more showers predicted

Delhi and the adjoining areas of the NCR witnessed persistent but moderate rain yesterday, flooding arterial roads across the city. Scattered and moderate rainfall lashed Delhi today as well and this scenario is expected to prevail for another couple of days.

Roads were flooded as drains overflowed, throwing the traffic out of gear in several parts of the city. Sluggish traffic was reported in several parts including Delhi University area, Civil Lines, Greater Kailash, and Kashmere Gate. Commuters faced a herculean task in trying to reach the Indira Gandhi Airport, after the nearby streets were flooded by overflowing drains.

It started raining early morning, and the city is expected to record around 30 mm of rain by the end of the day. The maximum temperature dipped by two to three notches, while the minimum temperature settled at 25 degrees Celsius.
