Several parts of Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, and Delhi received heavy showers accompanied by strong winds, leading to a sharp drop in temperature.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) earlier issued a yellow alert for September 1, warning of rain, thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds in the afternoon and evening.
The forecast proved accurate, with heavy rainfall turning the skies dark during daylight and forcing commuters to switch on headlights.

Gurugram traffic police said its personnel responded swiftly to multiple calls where vehicles were stranded in deep water.
A video showed a policeman and two others pushing a mini truck stranded on a flooded street in Gurugram. Armed with an umbrella, a traffic policeman, with his trousers rolled up, was seen directing vehicles amid the chaos.
While the showers provided relief from sweltering conditions, they also caused widespread disruption.
