Yamuna River Surges Past Danger Mark in Delhi Amid Downpours

As of August 27, 2025, the water level of Delhi's Yamuna River has surged past the danger mark, reaching 205.39 meters at 9 PM the previous evening. The rising water levels, caused by continuous rainfall in the region, have kept the local administration on high alert.

According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), active monsoon conditions are likely to prevail over Delhi for the next four days, with the possibility of generally cloudy skies, very light to light rain, and thundershowers at a few places. The weather forecast for August 27 suggests a generally cloudy sky with the possibility of one or two spells of very light to light rain or thundershowers towards the afternoon and evening.

In the neighboring state of Punjab, continuous rain and rising water levels in Pathankot, caused by downpours in Jammu and Kashmir, have led to waterlogging in several areas. The district authorities have set up the Radha Swami Satsang Beas premises as an evacuation center, and proper arrangements for food are also being made.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has also issued an alert for widespread thunderstorm activity across Jammu and surrounding areas on the morning of August 27, 2025. The Jammu DWR imagery at 5:10 AM showed severe convection with heavy rain, thunderstorms, and possible hail over several regions, including Jammu, RS Pura, Samba, and parts of Kathua and Udhampur.
