In East Delhi, intermittent rainfall led to waterlogging on major roads and lanes across Yamuna Par. The roads in areas like Pandav Nagar underpass, Mandawali, NH-9 service road, Jhilmil underpass, and Mayur Vihar Phase-3 were submerged. Additionally, water accumulated in the lanes of Saboli, Mandoli, Sabhapur, and Shriram Colony.

On Patparganj Road, near Ganesh Nagar, waterlogging up to two feet made it difficult for people to pass through. Additionally, due to recent work by the water board on this road, the surface became slippery as soil turned into mud due to downpours. The rainfall caused many people to cancel their weekend travel plans as well.

In various parts of outer Delhi, intermittent rainfall from Sunday morning to evening resulted in waterlogging on major roads as well as in colony streets. Due to the waterlogging, vehicles moved slowly on the roads. On the road adjacent to Sarvodaya Bal Vidyalaya School in Rohini Sector 20, water accumulated up to knee level, making it difficult for people to pass through.
