Speaking to The Indian Express, meteorologists and weather experts have attributed the upcoming surge in monsoon to the low pressure area which is currently brewing over the state of Odisha.
This is also the highest maximum temperature recorded in September from at least 2009 onwards, data from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) shows.
The national capital's roadways on Wednesday were left soggy by persistent rain, and during the busiest morning hours, several cars were spotted stuck in severe traffic jams.
