Delhi rains disrupt flights, IMD issues red alert
IN · Published Sep 9, 2026
Heavy to very heavy rainfall has disrupted normal life in Delhi, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issuing a red alert for the region.
The downpour has caused significant waterlogging at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, leading to disruptions in flight operations.

Impact & Risks

The heavy rainfall has already caused waterlogging at IGI Airport, affecting flight schedules and passenger movement. Urban flooding in low-lying areas of Delhi is a significant risk, potentially disrupting road traffic and public transport. Prolonged rainfall could also lead to power outages and damage to infrastructure. Residents in flood-prone areas are particularly vulnerable, and emergency services may face increased demand.
