Delhi Rains Update: 'Best Monsoon Spell Of Season' Floods Roads, Railway Station; Alert Issued

Last Updated:July 09, 2026, 07:42 IST

Delhi Rains: Continuous rain has caused waterlogging across low-lying areas, with major roads and intersections, including Munirka and New Delhi Railway Station, worst affected.

Delhi-NCR received major relief from sticky, humid heat as heavy rain continued from Wednesday afternoon into Thursday morning. The India Meteorological Department issued an Orange Alert for the capital, warning of intermittent heavy downpours through the day. Waterlogging was reported at New Delhi Railway Station and Munirka, disrupting morning commutes.

After weeks of a sluggish southwest monsoon, an active low-pressure system embedded in the monsoon axis, positioned close to Delhi and steered by a western disturbance, has triggered what meteorologists are calling one of the season’s strongest spells. Rain accumulation over Delhi could reach 180-230mm, with heavy spells expected to worsen conditions in already waterlogged areas through the day.

What Is The Current Weather Situation In Delhi?

Continuous rain has caused minor waterlogging across several low-lying areas of the capital, with major roads and intersections, including Munirka and New Delhi Railway Station, worst affected.

The minimum temperature was recorded at 25.8 degrees Celsius around 2:30 am on Thursday amid calm winds. IMD has also issued a Red Warning for thunderstorms, gusty winds up to 60 kmph and heavy rain across all districts of Delhi and several Haryana districts including Faridabad, Panipat and Sonipat, valid for the next two-three hours.

How Long Will This Rain Spell Last?

According to IMD, the monsoon system activated over North India is expected to persist for several more days. Delhi, Haryana, Chandigarh and western Uttar Pradesh will likely see widespread moderate to heavy rainfall until July 10.

Northeastern Uttar Pradesh faces a longer spell, with intermittent showers forecast until July 13. Eastern Rajasthan has also been warned of heavy monsoon rain today.
