Delhi under yellow alert as rain continues across the city

Delhi saw continued rain overnight, followed by light to moderate showers across parts of the city on Saturday morning. Najafgarh recorded 57 mm of rainfall.

The India Meteorological Department has issued a yellow alert for the national capital and forecast a generally cloudy sky, with light to moderate rain likely at different times of the day in isolated areas. Minimum temperatures were lower than Friday, while Delhi’s air quality remained in the satisfactory category on Saturday morning.

For residents, the wet spell could mean slower traffic, waterlogging on vulnerable stretches and longer travel times, particularly during periods of heavier showers. People heading out may want to allow extra time and keep track of local weather updates as rain intensity can vary sharply between neighbourhoods.

Delhi has had a notably wet start to August, and the latest forecast indicates that rainy conditions will continue through the day.
