The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for Delhi-NCR as rain is expected to persist throughout Friday, bringing respite from humid weather but raising concerns over waterlogging, traffic congestion and localised flooding across several parts of the National Capital Region. The national capital woke up to another rainy morning after intermittent showers overnight, while meteorologists forecast cloudy skies accompanied by one or two spells of light to moderate rainfall during the day.

According to the IMD, isolated areas of Delhi could receive heavy rainfall between the early morning and noon before lighter showers return during the evening and night. Daytime temperatures are expected to remain below seasonal highs, ranging between 31°C and 33°C, while the minimum temperature is likely to stay between 22°C and 24°C. The continued cloud cover and rainfall are expected to keep weather conditions relatively pleasant despite the ongoing monsoon season.
