Relief After Days Of Heat

The fresh spell of rain has brought much-needed relief after days of high temperatures crossing 40°C. The system, linked to a western disturbance and cyclonic circulation, has helped bring down mercury levels across the city, though it has also led to traffic disruptions and waterlogging in some areas. Many residents shared relief on social media, welcoming the rainfall as a break from the recent heatwave conditions.
