Delhi rains flood X with videos of waterlogged roads and traffic chaos
Heavy rain and thunderstorms flooded roads across Delhi-NCR and disrupted the morning commute. As waterlogging and traffic snarls spread, X filled with visuals of the city's monsoon chaos.
Heavy rain that lashed Delhi-NCR on Thursday morning brought respite from the relentless humidity, but it also left behind a trail of flooded roads, traffic snarls and disrupted commutes.
As the downpour intensified, ‘Delhi Rains’ began trending on X, with residents sharing dramatic visuals of the capital struggling under yet another spell of heavy monsoon showers.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a red alert for Delhi, forecasting more heavy rainfall, thunderstorms and lightning through the day. Overnight showers submerged several parts of the city, uprooted trees, slowed traffic and affected the morning rush hour across Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad and Faridabad.
As commuters navigated waterlogged streets, social media was flooded with videos and photographs capturing the scale of the disruption.
Several clips showed cars crawling through inundated roads, with water reaching the wheels of vehicles in many areas. Other videos captured commuters wading through knee-deep water, while long queues of vehicles stretched across major roads as traffic moved at a snail's pace.
Residents also posted visuals of uprooted trees blocking roads, overflowing drains and rainwater accumulating outside residential colonies and commercial areas. Many users documented the conditions in their neighbourhoods, offering a real-time glimpse of the city's monsoon challenges.
