The southwest monsoon reached Delhi after a five-day delay, bringing widespread rainfall and a significant drop in temperatures. While the showers provided relief from intense summer heat, they also caused waterlogging, traffic congestion, and disruptions to daily commuting across the city.
The adverse weather affected commercial activity by slowing transportation, logistics, and employee movement. Businesses across retail, services, and distribution sectors experienced operational delays as heavy rainfall impacted the smooth flow of goods and workforce mobility throughout the capital.
