Delhi, Mumbai Face More Showers as Central India Braces Rain
Delhi may get some lighter rain on Wednesday and Thursday morning.
The city could become less rainy from Friday.
Mumbai and nearby coastal areas may stay wet, which could cause water to collect on roads and slow traffic.
Some parts of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh may receive much heavier rain.
Gwalior and nearby districts could see flooding in low-lying places because the soil is already very wet.
Eastern, northeastern and some coastal areas may also get strong showers and thunderstorms.
Bengaluru and Hyderabad are expected to have only scattered or isolated rain.
The weather is being influenced by a low-pressure area and other weather systems over India.
Delhi is forecast to receive light rain on Wednesday and morning showers on Thursday, with rainfall likely weakening from Friday.
Mumbai and the Konkan region may see widespread rain on both days, creating risks of localised waterlogging and slower traffic.
Heavy rain is expected in parts of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, with additional alerts across eastern and northeastern India.
Gwalior and nearby districts face possible runoff and inundation because earlier intense rain has saturated the ground.
Rainfall should remain relatively subdued in Bengaluru and Hyderabad, while coastal Karnataka and Kerala may receive heavier showers.
