Delhi rains to get heavier due to low pressure regions forming over Rajasthan and Bay of Bengal

Delhi has also been witnessing heavy rainfall this month. This year, the city has had the most rain in a 24-hour period in 121 years. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) warned on Saturday that the low-pressure region forming over east Rajasthan and another forming over the Bay of Bengal are likely to intensify. The rain is likely to pour heavily across Delhi-NCR, Punjab, and Rajasthan.

“Systems over east Rajasthan and another forming over the Bay of Bengal are likely to intensify further. Delhi will receive a fresh spell of rain from September 17-18," said IMD senior scientist, RK Jenamani on Saturday.

Several roads in the national capital were partially or fully flooded as a result of the continuous rains, causing traffic congestion. Due to the continuing severe rain, several places were submerged.
