Heavy rain has lashed several parts of Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR), prompting the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to issue a yellow alert for the area. The rainfall, which has been accompanied by thunderstorms, has resulted in a significant deterioration in air quality, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) remaining in the 'poor' category across the region.

The IMD has predicted light to moderate rainfall at multiple locations, along with the possibility of lightning and strong winds. This weather pattern is expected to continue, affecting daily life and potentially leading to disruptions in transportation and outdoor activities in the region.S2

As the rain continues, residents are advised to take precautions due to the adverse weather conditions, especially with the ongoing poor air quality. The combination of rain and pollution poses health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children and the elderly.S1S2
