Nightmare rush hour for Delhi with water-logging, jams

A tweet from the Delhi traffic police a little before 6 pm warned of water-logging at Defence Colony flyover, Yusuf Sarai market and Hauz Khas among other areas.

The maximum temperature was recorded at 31.8 degrees Celsius and the minimum at 25.3 degrees Celsius. A total of 43.1 mm of rainfall was recorded in the city during the day and the humidity level was 76-98 per cent.

A torrential downpour on Monday too had caused heavy traffic snarls and flooding on roads bringing the national capital to a grinding halt.
