NEW DELHI [NCRBuzz Wire] — ### NEW DELHI [NCRBuzz Wire] — The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an urgent orange alert for Delhi-NCR, warning of imminent rain and hailstorms expected within the next two hours. **Commuters are advised to exercise caution as sudden weather shifts may lead to waterlogging and traffic congestion across major arterial roads.**
### Impact on Transit and Infrastructure
**Municipal authorities and traffic police are monitoring low-lying areas prone to water accumulation during sudden downpours.** While DMRC operations remain unaffected, commuters should anticipate potential delays in road-based transit, including bus services and cab availability. The orange alert signifies a high level of preparedness required for potential disruptions to public utility services.
### Safety Advisory and Precautions
**Citizens are urged to avoid parking vehicles under trees or near weak structures due to the risk of hailstorms and gusty winds.** Residents should keep emergency contact numbers handy and avoid unnecessary travel during the peak intensity of the weather event. The IMD continues to track the movement of the western disturbance causing these conditions.
The IMD uses a color-coded alert system to communicate weather severity. An 'Orange' alert indicates 'be prepared' for severe weather conditions that could disrupt daily life, infrastructure, and transport, requiring authorities to remain vigilant.
