Heavy rain and thunderstorms have impacted several areas in Delhi-NCR, including the national capital and its surrounding regions of Noida and Gurugram. The inclement weather began in the early hours and has led to disruptions in various services, including flight operations at major airports.

According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the severe weather conditions are expected to continue over the next few hours, bringing with it the potential for localized flooding and traffic delays. Authorities have advised residents to exercise caution while traveling and remain indoors where possible.

As a result of the heavy rainfall, minor flight delays and diversions have been reported at Indira Gandhi International Airport, with airlines working to accommodate affected passengers due to the weather impact on landing and takeoff schedules.

The IMD has issued warnings for further thunderstorms and rainfall in the coming days, encouraging the public to stay updated on weather forecasts and follow safety guidelines. Historically, such weather patterns can disrupt daily life in metropolitan areas, necessitating preparedness measures by local governments and emergency services.
