Rain, thunder, and gusty winds caused the diversion of at least three flights from Delhi to Jaipur between 10 am and 10:15 am on Monday, with additional flight delays reported. An airport official stated, “The diversions were due to bad weather, particularly rain and gusty winds.”
The rain caused waterlogging and subsequent traffic snarls, prompting the Delhi Traffic Police to issue advisories for affected areas, including Rohtak Road and Chaudhary Fateh Singh Marg, among others.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) reported light to moderate rainfall across Delhi and the National Capital Region as thunderclouds moved through the area. Palam recorded 31.8 mm of rain from 8:30 am to 11:30 am, Ridge saw 37.2 mm, and Pusa received 35 mm. In contrast, Safdarjung, a key weather station for Delhi, recorded only 2.7 mm during the same period.
Delhi recorded a minimum temperature of 29°C, with a maximum forecasted to be around 34°C.
