Last Updated:July 07, 2026, 22:04 IST

Air India, IndiGo and SpiceJet warned travellers about adverse weather conditions impacting flight operations in the metro cities.

Heavy rain affected flight operations in Delhi and Mumbai on Tuesday, prompting airlines to issue travel advisories. While the rain brought much-needed relief from a heatwave in the national capital, Mumbai has been witnessing continuous downpour in recent days.

Air India, IndiGo and SpiceJet warned travellers about adverse weather conditions impacting flight operations in the metro cities.

“Adverse weather conditions may impact flight operations to and from Mumbai and Delhi. To ensure a smooth travel experience, we encourage our passengers to check the latest flight status at the following link before heading to the airport," Air India said.

In its advisory, IndiGo said bad weather over Delhi had impacted flight schedules. “We are closely monitoring the weather and doing our best to get you where you need to be, safely and smoothly," it said.

The airline requested passengers to stay updated on their flight status and allow extra time for commute in view of slow-moving traffic. “Please be assured that our teams are here to assist you at every step and provide full support."

SpiceJet also warned that heavy rain in both Mumbai and Delhi could impact flight operations, including connecting services.

“Due to bad weather (heavy rain) in Mumbai (BOM) and Delhi (DEL), all departures/arrivals and their consequential flights might get affected. Passengers are requested to keep a check on their flight status," he said.

Rain In Delhi And Mumbai

Delhi saw heavy rains on Tuesday afternoon, bringing a much-need relief from days of sweltering heatwave. However, persistent showers brought waterlogged roads, uprooted trees and traffic disruptions in the national capital.

Parts of Delhi received nearly 84 mm rainfall, while widespread showers brought down the “feels like" temperature by almost 22 degrees Celsius, although humidity levels remained extremely high. Heavy traffic congestion was witnessed on several major stretches, including Geeta Colony Road towards Noida, NH-48, Old Rohtak Road and Akshardham Road to Noida.

Mumbai also received rainfall on Tuesday, although it was less than the relentless downpours in the last two days. Two minor boys drowned, while two women suffered injuries as cement sheets collapsed at a garden in Mumbai during heavy rains and winds during the last 24 hours.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an ‘orange’ alert, warning of intermittent showers with heavy to very heavy rainfall at isolated spots, along with gusty winds reaching 60–70 kmph.
