Weather Alert Issued for NCR

The IMD has warned of light rain and thunderstorms for Delhi and suggested people remain careful while travelling. The expected impact includes waterlogged roads, traffic issues due to low visibility, possible crop damage, and risks from falling trees or weak structures. People are advised to stay away from water bodies, avoid stepping outside unless needed, and handle electrical items with care during the showers.
