New Delhi. These days, there is heavy rain in many parts of the country, due to which flood-like conditions have also arisen in some states. Meanwhile, the Meteorological Department (IMD) has also predicted heavy rain in the national capital Delhi and NCR region. According to IMD, the rain system has become active in Delhi, due to which there may be heavy rain in the capital and its surrounding areas in the coming days.
Weather pattern will change due to remnants of cyclone Yagi
According to the Meteorological Department, the remnants of cyclone ‘Yagi’ formed in the Pacific Ocean may cause heavy rains in the National Capital Region (NCR) and Delhi on September 18. This system, which has now turned into a low pressure area, is currently active in Jharkhand and is likely to move rapidly towards the northwest. This pressure will reach Delhi and NCR via many parts of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. Due to this system, heavy rains are also predicted in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Uttar Pradesh, for which the IMD has issued an orange alert.
