Citizens in the national capital woke up to heavy rainfall, resulting in waterlogging in a few areas on Sunday morning. Vehicles commuting from the Yamuna Bazar area witnessed heavy waterlogging due to heavy rainfall.

In West Bengal, discharge of water from dams and barrages is set to increase as the storage facilities are almost full with heavy rainfall across the state for the last two days, officials said on Saturday.

Heavy showers in eastern Rajasthan inundated roads and washed out rail tracks in the Jodhpur division. A few places in Nagaur, Baran, Jaipur, Sawaimadhopur, Karauli, Sikar, Alwar, Jhunjhunu and Churu districts have recorded heavy to very heavy rainfall till Saturday morning.
