Delhi weather today: Airport, SpiceJet issue flight advisories amid heavy rain; check status here

Delhi Airport and SpiceJet issued passenger advisories on Monday as heavy rain and thunderstorms swept the national capital, warning travellers of possible flight disruptions.

While Delhi Airport said flight operations were normal despite forecasts of inclement weather, SpiceJet cautioned that departures, arrivals and subsequent flights could be affected.

In its advisory, Delhi Airport said the India Meteorological Department (IMD) had forecast adverse weather conditions in the vicinity of the airport.


The airport advised travellers to contact their respective airlines for the latest flight information.

SpiceJet, meanwhile, warned that heavy rain in Delhi could affect all departures and arrivals, as well as subsequent flights. The airline urged passengers to check their flight status on its website before travelling.

The advisories came as heavy rain and thunderstorms brought cooler conditions to the national capital but also triggered waterlogging in parts of the city.

The IMD forecast moderate to heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms over Delhi-NCR during the next two to three hours on Monday morning.
