Even as the intensity of rain has abated after Delhi witnessed record showers on Friday, waterlogging woes continued to haunt several parts across the National Capital Region (NCR) on Wednesday.

Delhi on Friday recorded 228.1 mm of rain, which is the highest that the city has registered in a day in June in 88 years. On Wednesday, however, Delhi and neighbouring Haryana recorded 29 per cent deficient rainfall, as per the data from the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

In the national capital, Ayanagar weather station registered moderate showers at 39.8 mm in three hours. Other weather stations in Delhi recorded light rainfall. Safdarjung base station, Palam, Ridge, and Lodhi Road stations registered 9 mm, 14.1 mm, 4.2 mm, and 6.7 mm of rain, respectively. Light rainfall is recorded when the range is between 2.5 mm and 15.5 mm while the range of moderate rainfall is from 15.6 mm to 64.4 mm.

Gurgaon, on the other hand, received 35 mm of rain till 4 pm on Wednesday.

In an advisory issued on Wednesday for Delhi-NCR, the IMD warned of slippery roads, low visibility, traffic snarls as well as localised waterlogging in some areas due to moderate or intense spells of rain over Central and South Delhi and adjoining areas of Gurgaon and Faridabad.

Amid complaints of waterlogging, teams of the Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) were deployed in various parts of the city, said officials. Pumps were deployed at Sheetla Mata Road, Sector 22A, Sushant Lok 1, New Colony, Sectors 9A and 10A, and Old Delhi Road, among other areas.

Officials said employees, pumps, and machinery are deployed at all waterlogged locations to facilitate drainage. Chief Engineer Manoj Yadav instructed junior and assistant engineers to be present in the field with their teams and machinery as soon as the rain began.

The rain, however, brought some respite from heat and humidity as the maximum temperature dropped to 34.1 degrees Celsius from the previous day's 36.7 degrees Celsius at the Safdarjung base station. The minimum temperature was also close to normal at 29 degrees Celsius.

No significant rainfall was recorded in North, Northwest, and West Delhi.
