The rains in Delhi NCR and several other states across the country have served as a massive breather for people amid the spells of severe heatwave. However, humidity has become another cause of concern for people after the rains. In some parts of the country, heavy rains have led to flood-like situations, disrupting the daily activities in the lives of the people. As many as 15 roads in several areas of Himachal Pradesh have been completely closed due to incessant rains.

Light to moderate rain forecasted in Delhi:

According to the IMD, Delhi is likely to witness a downpour today, which would lead to a drop in the temperature.
