As monsoon arrived eight days ahead of schedule this year, Delhi-NCR has been experiencing heavy rain from Wednesday through the weekend. This has led to waterlogging and traffic congestion across several parts of the city, bringing Delhi-NCR to a standstill. The heavy rain, which began midweek – on Wednesday evening – has brought much-needed respite from heat and humidity.
