As monsoon finally arrived in Delhi Tuesday morning, bringing respite from the scorching heat, social media users flooded Twitter with memes and jokes. The rainfall started on Monday night and continued through Tuesday morning. The monsoon finally reached the national capital, 16 days behind the usual date of onset, making it the most-delayed in 19 years, according to the IMD.
While the rain brought respite from the heat, it was, however, also accompanied by waterlogging, traffic jams and tiring commutes. An underpass waterlogged in Prahladpur area. The AIIMS flyover in Delhi was also flooded due to heavy rain. Twitter users were quick to mock the IMD’s false prediction. They flooded the social media website with memes and jokes using the hashtag #DelhiRains. Here are some of the most trending reactions:
