By 5.30pm, Gurgaon had recorded 10.4mm of rain, mostly falling between 6.
30am and 8am. The downpour led to waterlogging in various areas, causing significant traffic disruptions. Key locations such as Kapashera, Hero Honda Chowk, Rajiv Chowk, Khandsa Chowk, Sector 52, Medanta Road, and Narsinghpur along NH-8 saw traffic congestion for about two hours.
Waterlogging and traffic congestion While these areas experienced jams until around 10.30am, traffic flow improved later in the day as rainfall ceased. Local authorities stated that they had taken measures to address waterlogging and traffic congestion, resulting in the drainage of accumulated rainwater shortly after.
The city’s minimum temperature was recorded at 30 degrees Celsius, 2.5 degrees higher than Tuesday’s 27.5 degrees.
The maximum temperature decreased to 33.4 degrees Celsius from the previous day’s 34.1 degrees.
Following the rain, high humidity at 97% made outdoor conditions uncomfortable. More rain in the coming days The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted more rain in the coming days, predicting further episodes of light to moderate rainfall that are expected to lower temperatures and reduce humidity..
