This comes a day after the IMD issued a rainfall alert, saying that light to moderate rains will continue to lash Delhi and Noida until July 17. The rainfall warning led Noida authorities to alert residents in low-lying areas to relocate to higher ground for a few days, expecting a rise in the Yamuna River's water levels due to the rain. Villages along the Yamuna River have been cautioned about potential flooding, recalling last year's heavy rains that caused significant flooding in parts of the national capital.

On Friday, the maximum temperature in Delhi was 34.3 degrees Celsius, a notch below normal, while the minimum temperature was recorded at 29.6 degrees, which is two notches above normal. The IMD has predicted a maximum temperature of around 34 degrees Celsius and a minimum temperature of around 26 degrees Celsius for Saturday.

In the coming five days, Delhi is expected to see maximum and minimum temperatures around 35 and 26 degrees Celsius, respectively. The national capital is to see a generally cloudy sky with light rain or drizzle till July 16. Meanwhile, heavy rain is expected on July 17 and 18.
