• Delhi-NCR faces continued flood risk with the Yamuna above danger marks, as authorities operate relief camps; light to moderate rain is likely on September 8 with a possible lull on September 9–10.
• Punjab remains severely inundated with about 1,900–1,948 villages affected, more than 3.8 lakh people impacted and at least 43 deaths reported, while reduced rainfall is expected to offer short-term relief and NDRF and Army teams sustain rescue and aid operations.
