Meanwhile, rain lashed parts of Delhi on Saturday morning, causing waterlogging and traffic snarls. However, the rain brought some respite from the July heat.
Neighboring Noida also witnessed rain in the morning. According to the IMD, the national capital is likely to have isolated rainfall throughout the day on Saturday. The IMD stated that Delhi and Noida are expected to witness cloudy skies and light thunderstorms on Saturday and Sunday.
The IMD predicted that light rain would continue in Delhi and Noida until July 17. Due to the rain, the water levels in the Yamuna River are expected to rise in the coming days, prompting authorities to issue an alert to residents of villages in Noida situated along the banks of the river. These villages experienced severe flooding during last year's monsoon season, causing significant inconvenience to residents of both Delhi and Noida.
