**Delayed Monsoon Finally Arrives in Delhi, Bringing Relief and Waterlogging**
New Delhi finally received its first monsoon rains on Sunday, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). While the arrival was delayed from the IMD’s earlier prediction of June 24-25 due to an anti-cyclonic circulation, the rain brought the much-needed relief. The IMD has issued a yellow alert for Delhi, forecasting rain until July 5th. Despite the welcome precipitation, waterlogging was reported in areas such as the Lodhi Crematorium and Seelampur, prompting calls to the Delhi government’s helpline. The rain also contributed to “satisfactory” air quality, with an AQI of 85.
