Delhi weather: National capital, Noida wake up to rain, more showers predicted

The residents of Delhi and NCR regions experience further respite from the heat in mid-July as light to moderate rain lashed parts of the national capital and neighboring Noida in the early hours of Saturday. Visuals from Delhi's Janpath showed moderate rainfall in the national capital at around 5 am on July 13.

In addition to isolated rainfall throughout the day, Delhi and Noida are expected to witness cloudy skies and light thunderstorms on Saturday and Sunday, predicted local weather agencies.

This comes a day after the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a rainfall alert in Delhi NCR, saying that light to moderate rains will continue to lash the national capital for the next few days. IMD said in its most recent forecast that light rain will continue in Delhi and Noida till July 17.

The rainfall warning prompted the Noida authorities to issue an alert for residents living in low-lying area, warning them to relocate to higher ground for a few days as the water levels of Yamuna river are expected to rise due to the downpour.
