Parts of Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) are bracing for more rainfall on Tuesday, as the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued red and orange alerts for the area. These alerts signal the potential for significant weather disturbances, including heavy downpours and severe thunderstorms.

Residents can expect continued unsettled weather conditions throughout Tuesday. The alerts indicate a high likelihood of substantial rainfall, which could lead to disruptions in daily life and traffic. The IMD's warnings are based on meteorological forecasts predicting intense weather activity over the region.
