Delhi-NCR experienced a sudden shift in weather by evening on Tuesday, with dust storms followed by heavy rain across multiple areas. Several parts of the NCR, including Delhi, Noida and Ghaziabad witnessed downpours, which led to waterlogging and traffic congestion on multiple roads. 

As the evening rush hour coincided with the rain, traffic congestion worsened. Vehicles were strained due to traffic congestion on key routes, including Sector-14 in Noida and South Extension in Delhi. The increased volume of vehicles, due to people leaving work, exacerbated the situation.

Earlier in the day, Delhi experienced sunny weather. However, by evening, clouds rolled in, bringing light rain that gradually intensified. The rain brought a welcome respite from the daytime heat and humidity, making the weather more pleasant for the locals. Similar rain conditions were observed across Ghaziabad, Noida, Gurugram, and Faridabad.
