Manchester weather forecast: Rain could spoil Shubman Gill-led India's party at Old Trafford
Will rain impact the fourth India-England Test in Manchester? That looks almost certain, with the current weather forecast predicting heavy rainfall on a couple of days during the match. read more There are high chances of rain spoiling a few many overs during India vs England 4th Test at Manchester. Image: AP The fourth Test between India and England at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground from 23 July faces a massive rain threat as there are high chances of the play on the first two days being impacted by showers. This is not good news for Shubman Gill-led India as they are currently 2-1 behind in the five-match Test series. The overcast conditions could help the seamers and Manchester ground has often been found to be useful for fast bowlers, despite slowing down a bit in the near past. This could influence India into picking Shardul Thakur as injured Nitish Kumar Reddy's replacement in the playing XI, while Haryana fast bowler Anshul Kamboj is also expected to make his debut in place of Akash Deep, who struggled with a back issue during the third Test at Lord's. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Rain, however, could spoil India's party and the fresh combinations as 'An afternoon shower or two' is predicted on Day 1 (23 July, Wednesday) and 'A couple of showers' are predicted for Day 2 (24 July, Thursday), according to AccuWeather. In fact, it has been raining on the eve of the match in Manchester on Tuesday. Manchester Weather Forecast There's a high possibility of rain on the opening day when the probability of precipitation stands at 65% and the temperatures will be between 19 to 14 degrees Celsius. This also means Manchester will be much cooler than London, where the temperature constantly touched 30 degrees Celsius during the Lord's Test. Also, as per the prediction, we can expect rain delays during the match that will start at 11 AM local time. The probability of precipitation rises to 85% on the scheduled Day 2 (24 July, Thursday) and the temperatures will be between 21 to 12 degrees Celsius. Day 3 (25 July, Friday) and Day 4 (26 July, Saturday) promise to be much brighter with chances of rain pegged at only 7 and 10% respectively. The probability of precipitation on Day 5 (27 July, Sunday) is 40%, which means we may see a few rain interruptions but nothing serious enough to witness a washout. If a large number of overs are lost in the Test match due to rain, then a draw would be the most likely outcome and that's something Gill and India would not want to have.

Delhi Weather: Heavy rain lashes national capital, waterlogging reported – check IMD's forecast
Heavy rainfall lashed several parts of Delhi on Tuesday, providing much-needed relief from the extreme heat. However, many areas experienced problems of waterlogging and traffic congestion. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted more rain throughout the day, forecasting a "generally cloudy sky with moderate rain." The weather agency has also predicted more showers for tomorrow. Waterlogging was reported in parts of south and southwest Delhi after fresh rainfall, causing slow-moving traffic and flooded streets, commuters said. Visuals from the Sangam Vihar area showed vehicles plying on flooded streets. A bike also got stuck in a waterlogged area, with the rider trying to move his vehicle. Schoolchildren were seen slowly crossing the waterlogged street, which made movement difficult for them. Visuals also emerged showing rainwater flowing down the stairs of the Parliament building, while vehicles moved past in the background. Meanwhile, due to the downpour, the Opposition's planned protest at the Makar Dwar of the Parliament building under the banner of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) campaign was postponed. Officials said the demonstration would now be held after the House is adjourned for the day. The weather department has stated that the temperature in Delhi will vary between 36 degrees Celsius and 23 degrees Celsius over the next seven days, until July 28. According to the IMD, the city will experience generally cloudy skies with very light to light or moderate rain, accompanied by thunderstorms or lightning, over the next seven days.

Monsoon fly control: 10 natural ways to banish fruit flies, drain flies and gnats from your home
Monsoon fly control is a must-do if you don't want your kitchen and bathroom turning into a breeding party for bugs. As soon as the rain hits, these pests start showing up, fruit flies buzzing over bananas, drain flies lurking near sinks, fungus gnats swarming around your plants. Gross, right? The good news: you don't need toxic sprays to deal with them. You just need a little consistency and some smart natural fly repellent hacks that work in Indian homes. What are monsoon flies? Monsoon flies is a broad term for tiny flying insects that thrive in damp, humid environments during the rainy season. They aren't one single species, but a mix of small pests commonly seen indoors once the rains begin. Common types of monsoon flies: Fruit flies – Attracted to ripe or decaying fruits and sweet stuff. Drain flies – Breed in stagnant water and slimy drains. Fungus gnats – Found in overwatered indoor plants and moist soil. Midges and houseflies – Hover near garbage, compost, and open food. While they may seem harmless, these insects can carry bacteria, contaminate food, and trigger allergies, especially in kids and seniors. 10 natural remedies for monsoon fly control Apple cider vinegar trap Fill a bowl with apple cider vinegar + a drop of dish soap. Cover with plastic wrap and poke holes. Flies enter, can't escape, and drown. Keep near fruit or dustbins. Baking soda + vinegar for drains Pour half a cup of baking soda followed by half a cup of vinegar into drains. Let it fizz, then pour hot water. Removes larvae and slime where drain flies breed. Neem + cinnamon for plants Let your houseplant soil dry between watering. Sprinkle cinnamon powder or spray diluted neem oil on the topsoil to kill gnat larvae naturally. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 most beautiful women in the world Undo Lemon and clove spray Boil lemon peels, cool the water, and add a few drops of clove or eucalyptus oil.
