Parts of Delhi and its nearby areas received heavy rainfall early on Saturday morning. The rainfall led to waterlogging on roads near Badarpur metro station. Traffic was also affected due to rain in several parts of Delhi on Friday evening.
The Regional Weather Forecasting Centre (RWFC) in Delhi has forecast light to moderate intensity rain over and adjoining areas of isolated places in Delhi. “Thunderstorms with light to moderate intensity rain would occur over and adjoining areas of few places in Delhi,” tweeted RWFC on Saturday.
Delhi received heavy rain in July this year, breaking a 41-year record. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has said that rainfall over the country as a whole during the second half (August to September) of the southwest monsoon season is very likely to be normal.
The rainfall would be 94 to 106 per cent of the Long Period Average (LPA) and most probably be on the negative side of normal, the IMD said in a statement issued by the Director of the Meteorological Centre in Amaravati, Samuel Stella.
