Gurugram, June 21: Following Wednesday morning’s heavy rain, several areas of Gurugram experienced waterlogging. At six in the morning, the rain began to pelt the metropolis.
Following the rains, the expressway was particularly clogged by water, resulting in a 5-kilometer-long traffic jam. Massive delays and the disruption of public transport greatly aggravated people. For more than an hour, a bus full of passengers had no choice but to wait in the flooded circumstances.
In the early hours of this morning, the Regional Weather Forecasting Centre (RWFC) of Delhi issued a thunderstorm warning for several of Delhi’s surrounding areas, including Gurugram, with light to moderate rain and gusty winds of 30 to 40 kmph.
The RWFC does weather predictions for the Delhi NCR region and North-West India. From the early morning until later hours, they tweeted about rain forecasts for Gurugram.
