Gurugram, Delhi get some rain; orange alert issued for Gurgaon

India Sep 30, 2025

On Tuesday, Gurugram and Delhi got some much-needed rain, giving everyone a welcome break from days of intense heat.
The IMD had predicted cloudy skies and light showers, but Gurugram even saw an orange alert for thunderstorms.
While the cool-down was nice, places like South City 1 in Gurugram struggled with waterlogging thanks to poor drainage.

Air quality remains 'moderate'

Delhi's temperatures stayed higher than usual—minimum was 28.7°C, still 5.4°C above normal—and the maximum was expected around 35°C.
Air quality improved a bit but remained only "moderate," with an AQI of 114.
That means sensitive groups should still be cautious, as pollution is sticking around despite the rain.
