New Delhi: Terminal 1 of the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport in Delhi experienced significant waterlogging on Tuesday following intense rainfall that lashed the national capital. Airport staff were seen manually clearing the water using buckets and brooms, with several videos of the incident circulating widely on social media.
The rainfall disrupted airport operations, as at least 12 flights were diverted due to poor weather conditions. The incident raised serious concerns about Delhi’s preparedness for the monsoon season, especially at key public infrastructure points like the airport.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for Delhi until 19 June, warning of thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and gusty winds, with speeds ranging between 50 to 60 kmph. The forecast indicates moderate rainfall and thundersqualls throughout the alert period.
As per the IMD's rainfall data, Pusa recorded the highest rainfall at 41 mm, followed by Ayanagar with 23 mm, Narayana with 15 mm, Safdarjung with 10 mm, and Lodhi Road with 5 mm. These varied figures across weather stations reflect the patchy but impactful nature of the monsoon spell in the region.
Meanwhile, the temperature in Delhi is expected to remain between 33°C to 35°C (maximum) and 26°C to 28°C (minimum) during this weather pattern. The yellow alert will remain in effect until Thursday, 19 June, as the city continues to experience unpredictable monsoon conditions.
Civic authorities have urged residents to avoid waterlogged areas and stay updated with real-time weather alerts. Travellers have also been advised to check their flight status before heading to the airport.
