The IMD had issued an Orange alert for Saturday when moderate to heavy showers could lead to water logging and traffic snarls on key stretches.
“The monsoon trough has reached Delhi and hence the intense spell. Light showers may continue throughout the day. Patchy rainfall and thundershowers are likely to stay in parts of the city till August 23,” said a senior IMD official.
