The Meteorological department predicts moderate rains and a mostly cloudy sky throughout the day, with a maximum temperature around 32 degrees Celsius.
Waterlogging affected various parts of Delhi, causing early morning traffic congestion, notably near Akshardham Temple Metro Station and on roads like Vikas Marg.

Delhi traffic police issued alerts for Rohtak Road, both carriageways from Rajdhani Park towards Tikri Border, advising commuters to plan their journeys considering waterlogged traffic.
The weather forecast anticipates generally cloudy skies with light to moderate rain in Delhi for the next five days.
