In a passenger advisory, Delhi Airport said the India Meteorological Department (IMD) had forecast adverse weather conditions in the area, adding that ground teams were coordinating with stakeholders to ensure smooth passenger movement.
It advised travellers to contact their respective airlines for the latest flight information.

The IMD forecast moderate to heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms over Delhi-NCR during the next two to three hours on Monday morning.
While, maximum temperatures are expected to remain between 31 and 35 degrees Celsius over the coming days, while minimum temperatures are likely to range between 22 and 25 degrees Celsius.
