Bay of Bengal System to Bring Heavy Rains to Delhi and Surrounding States

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a weather alert for a Bay of Bengal low‑pressure system expected to bring heavy rainfall to Delhi, the National Capital Region (NCR) and several northern states. The system is projected to intensify over the next 48 hours, with forecasts of up to 100 mm of rainfall in some areas, potentially causing flooding and transport disruptions. Residents in Delhi and adjoining districts are advised to stay updated on weather updates, keep emergency kits ready, and avoid unnecessary travel during peak rainfall hours. The alert also covers states such as Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan, where similar rainfall patterns are expected, prompting local authorities to prepare for possible waterlogging and road closures.
