While rain in Delhi has cooled down temperatures and brought huge relief to Delhiites from the sweltering heat, heavy downpour in the last two days has left many streets in the national capital waterlogged.
Intermittent to heavy rain was again witnessed in the city on Monday morning which threw life completely out of gear. Commuters faced traffic snarls in many parts of the city as major roads got waterlogged due to poor drainage. Commuters travelling from Delhi to NCR regions of Noida and Gurgaon had to face a harrowing time as they had to battle long traffic jams.
Waterlogging was reported from many parts of the city including Kashmiri Gate, IGI airport, Vasant Kunj Anand Parbat and Outer ring Road. Traffic intersections at Kashmiri gate metro station, Moti Bagh, Munirka Flyover, Palam and under the Minto Bridge was also submerged bringing traffic to a standstill. Other areas where traffic moved at slow pace include Raja Garden flyover in west Delhi, Vikas Marg near ITO and Akshardham Metro station.
Similar situation is going to exist for some time as weather experts at Skymet have forecast more rain for the next 24 hours.
The maximum and minimum temperature on Monday is expected to stay around 34 and 25 degrees Celsius. The sky will remain mainly clear with thundershowers at some places.
