Heavy rains lead to school closures and traffic nightmares in Delhi. Is it time to bring out the inflatable swans?
The skies opened up over Delhi on Wednesday, with rain pouring down like it was auditioning for a monsoon-themed Bollywood movie! The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) didn't waste time issuing a red alert across the Delhi-NCR region. The sudden downpour turned streets into rivers, leading to widespread waterlogging and a traffic apocalypse that had commuters wishing they could surf their way home. As a result, the Delhi government announced all schools, both private and government, would remain closed on August 1st, allowing children to enjoy a surprise day off—rain or shine!
In scenes reminiscent of the great flood stories, several areas were hit hard, with flooding creeping into homes and businesses. Unfortunately, things took a tragic turn in the Sabzi Mandi area, where a house collapsed due to the relentless rain, although thankfully, no casualties were reported. Not even the bravest of Delhiites could dodge the massive traffic jams or the impromptu protests for safer infrastructure in the wake of nature's fury!
Despite the chaos, the rain also brought a much-needed respite from the oppressive humidity that had gripped the city. Could this downpour be nature’s way of reminding us that every storm eventually passes? However, as we dive into puddles rather than traffic jams, people are discussing the importance of better drainage systems and urban planning to deal with such weather phenomena. Who knew urban infrastructure could be as hot a topic as the latest Netflix series!
At the end of the day, while we embrace our soaked shoes and navigational skills turning into water navigation, let’s be grateful for the reprieve from the heat. Did you know that the monsoon season in Delhi usually spans from June to September, and this year, we might be breaking previous rainfall records? So grab those umbrellas, put on your best rain gear, and embrace the weather because in 2023, it’s not just raining cats and dogs, it’s raining everything!
