New Delhi: Delhi received heavy rainfall on Tuesday morning, providing much-needed relief from the heat but also leading to significant waterlogging in several parts of south and southwest Delhi. Commuters reported slow-moving traffic and inundated streets as a result of the downpour.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted a “generally cloudy sky with moderate rain” to continue through the day on Tuesday, July 22, 2025. Similar weather conditions, including light to moderate rain, are expected to persist on Wednesday, July 23, while light showers are anticipated on Thursday.
Visuals from Central Delhi’s Rafi Marg and North Avenue showed regular traffic flow despite the heavy rain. However, ahead of the ongoing Monsoon Session of Parliament, images emerged of water cascading down the stairs of the Parliament building, with vehicles passing in the background.
