NEW DELHI: The exceptional rainfall comes as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts "cold wave" conditions likely to commence over north India from Sunday.

The weather department has issued an orange alert for Sunday and yellow alert for the subsequent two days in Delhi NCR, predicting spells of fog for which it advised citizens to be on watch.

"A spell of very light rain or drizzle was observed in some isolated places. An orange alert has been issued for Sunday, warning people of the possibility of a dense fog in most places and very dense fog in isolated places," said an IMD official.

According to IMD data, Delhi's Safdarjung observatory, which provides representative weather data for the city, recorded 41.2 mm of rain in 24 hours till 8.30 am Saturday. While it has been raining in Delhi since Thursday night, no rain was recorded after Saturday morning.
