Residents across Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) are likely to witness another spell of monsoon rain on Thursday, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting cloudy skies, intermittent showers, thunderstorms and gusty winds.

The rain will bring relief from the heat and humidity, although waterlogging and traffic congestion could disrupt daily life in several areas.

The IMD has forecast light to moderate rainfall across Delhi, along with thunderstorms and gusty winds in isolated places.

The showers will likely bring down daytime temperatures, though humidity will remain high.

The maximum temperature will range between 33 and 34 degrees Celsius, while the minimum will remain around 27 degrees Celsius.

Neighbouring NCR cities, including Noida, Gurugram and Ghaziabad, will also receive light to moderate rainfall. Some areas may witness brief heavy showers, lightning and strong winds.

Authorities have advised commuters to plan their journeys carefully, as waterlogging in low-lying areas could cause traffic delays.
