While the rain has provided relief from the heat, it has also created major commuting challenges. Several important roads and low-lying areas witnessed heavy waterlogging, slowing traffic and causing long delays during peak hours.
Areas including Connaught Place, Janpath, Bharat Mandapam Road, Barakhamba Road, Mathura Road near ITO, and Kalindi Kunj experienced water accumulation after continuous rainfall.
Traffic congestion was also reported from Lajpat Nagar underpass, Kartavya Path, Greater Kailash-II, Hauz Khas, RK Puram, NH-8 near Shankar Vihar, NH-48 near AIIMS, Delhi-Noida Road, Vikas Marg and Lodhi Road.
The IMD has advised residents to monitor traffic updates before travelling and avoid roads that are frequently affected by waterlogging. Authorities have also urged commuters to follow official advisories issued by the traffic police and local administration to minimise inconvenience during the ongoing wet spell.
