Delhi Weather Today: Heavy Rainfall To Continue; Check Which Parts Of The City Will Be Hit Till August 10

Heavy rains lashed Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) on Thursday morning, August 6, 2026, bringing welcome relief from humid conditions but triggering waterlogging and traffic disruptions across several areas. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast that active monsoon conditions will persist, with rainfall activity expected to continue over the national capital until August 10.

The IMD has issued a yellow alert for all of Delhi-NCR through August 10, warning of moderate rainfall, thunderstorms, and localised waterlogging. A red alert covers parts likely to see moderate to heavy rain spells, including Central Delhi, East Delhi, New Delhi, North-West Delhi, South-East Delhi, and West Delhi. Orange alerts apply in some NCR areas such as Noida and Ghaziabad, while Gurugram and Faridabad remain under yellow warnings.

District-wise, the yellow alert spans North Delhi, North-West Delhi, North-East Delhi, Central Delhi, West Delhi, East Delhi, New Delhi, South-West Delhi, South Delhi, and South-East Delhi. Residents in these zones should prepare for intermittent light to moderate showers, with isolated heavy spells possible, especially in the mornings and evenings. Generally cloudy skies will dominate, keeping maximum temperatures around 31–33°C and minima near 22–25°C, though high humidity will make conditions feel warmer.

Commuters faced slow-moving traffic on key stretches, including parts of the Delhi-Jaipur Expressway in Gurugram, where waterlogging was severe. Authorities advise checking traffic updates, avoiding low-lying flood-prone areas, and staying updated via official IMD advisories. Neighbouring states including Punjab and Uttar Pradesh are also under weather warnings.

While the rains offer a break from heat, the ongoing monsoon spell means residents should remain cautious of further disruptions until at least August 10. Plan travel carefully and monitor local forecasts for any intensifying showers in specific localities.
