The India Meteorological Department expects rain and thunderstorms across North India today. Delhi–NCR is set for on and off showers through the day. A monsoon low over central India is feeding moisture into the region. Expect brief gusts with cells, especially during afternoon and evening periods. Alerts focus on Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.
IMD’s city forecast for Delhi shows a generally cloudy sky with moderate rain. Several districts carry no colour warning for September 7 as of morning updates. Yet wet spells are likely, so watch Delhi radar before stepping out. Localised bursts may trigger quick waterlogging and short delays in peak bands.

Travel and safety tips for Delhi–NCR and North India
Build a 45 to 60 minute buffer for morning flights from Delhi. Metro will run, but entry queues and interchange bunching can stretch waits. For intercity trains, plan 30 to 45 extra minutes at New Delhi and Anand Vihar. Avoid underpasses during downpours, track rail forecasts on IMD’s Indian Railways page.
Secure loose balcony items, unplug surge sensitive gear, and park above flood prone spots. When thunder roars, shelter indoors; avoid trees, pylons, rooftops and open terraces. Use Damini for lightning alerts and refresh Mausam notifications every few hours. If colours escalate locally, follow civic advisories and postpone non essential trips.
