Delhi rains: After nearly a week of scorching heat where the mercury reached the 44°C mark, residents of the national capital finally breathed a sigh of relief this morning. Rain lashed several parts of the national capital on Wednesday, bringing much-needed relief from a recent spell of rising temperatures.
The sudden change in the weather patterns resulted in thick cloud cover and strong winds prior to rain falling in different parts of the city, such as Kushak Road and Lutyens. For most of the preceding week, the city was under a Yellow Alert for heat waves with temperatures peaking between 42°C and 45°C over the last few days.
