Weather Alerts and How They Affect Your Day
Monsoon season is in full swing, and the IMD has been issuing a series of alerts. Recent yellow alerts cover heavy showers that may linger for two more days, especially around the Yamuna’s 207 m evacuation mark. Expect traffic snarls on main arterial roads and occasional flight delays at IGI Airport. If you’re heading to the airport, keep an eye on the latest advisory – 14 flight diversions were reported during the last storm.
Good news: the situation is easing in some zones. IMD has downgraded alerts to yellow in parts of Delhi, with lighter rain expected over the weekend. Still, stay prepared – keep an umbrella handy and allow extra travel time.
Real Estate Moves – New Flats and Housing Schemes
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) launched its Premium Housing Scheme for 2025. Around 250 ready‑to‑move flats are up for e‑auction, starting at Rs 39 lakh for LIG units. Key locations include Vasant Kunj, Dwarka, Jasola, Rohini and Pitampura. Registration is open until Oct 24, with auctions slated for early October. If you’re looking to buy, this is a chance to get a freehold property at a transparent price.
On the commercial side, Toyota’s discount on the Urban Cruiser Hyryder (up to Rs 94,000 off) is drawing attention from NCR buyers looking for a hybrid SUV that balances fuel cost and performance. The deal runs for a limited time, so act fast if you need a family car.
Beyond housing, the NCR continues to feel the impact of weather on daily life. Faridabad’s sudden downpour on Aug 23 brought relief from heat but highlighted water‑logging risks in low‑lying areas. Keeping an eye on local alerts can help you avoid getting stuck.
Overall, the Delhi‑NCR region is buzzing with activity – from weather changes that shape travel plans to real estate opportunities that could change your living situation. Bookmark this page and check back often for the freshest updates that matter to you.
