    Impact

    Traffic across Delhi-Noida moving slowly, power supply affected

    Since early morning, traffic was affected across several areas in Delhi, Ghaziabad as well as Noida. Vehicles moved slowly on the Delhi-Noida route during peak office hours.

    Traffic police have been issuing constant updates regarding jams and diversions.

    Residents of different localities also complained of power cuts. The BSES said it is working to restore supply.

    Predictions

    Shower spells to continue throughout the day

    "A well-marked low-pressure area, which was located over Jharkhand earlier this week, has shifted towards the northwest. A cyclonic circulation has also developed over MP and UP. These two systems have come together to trigger the rain," said BP Yadav, Deputy Director General, IMD.

    As of 8:30am, Safdarjung had recorded 4.6mm of rainfall, and Palam around 9.3mm.

    More shower spells have been predicted throughout the day.
