Delhi-NCR faced the heaviest two-day rainfall in July in at least 41 years, resulting in six fatalities and causing widespread chaos. The downpour led to waterlogged roads, flooded homes, collapses of houses and walls, road cave-ins, and uprooted trees. Safdarjung, the base station in Delhi, recorded 153mm of rain in 24 hours, the highest single-day rainfall for July since 1982. In the subsequent nine hours, the station received an additional 105.8mm. The total rainfall of nearly 260mm within 36 hours was 32% above the average for the entire month of July. Despite official claims of preparedness, large parts of Delhi were submerged, with reports of water entering shops and residences.
