Delhi Rain: Showers bring relief, disrupt flights, cause waterlogging

Delhi Rain: Thunderstorm accompanied by heavy rain battered Delhi overnight, disrupting flight operations, uprooting trees and electricity poles, and causing waterlogging in several areas while bringing relief from stifling heat. The sudden change in weather led to a sharp drop in mercury with the city recording a minimum temperature of 19.8 degrees Celsius, 6.9 notches below the normal. The India Meteorological Department said the city’s primary weather station at Safdarjung recorded winds gusting up to 82 kmph and 81.2 mm of rain in six hours — between 11.30 pm and 5.30 am. Palam gauged 68.1 mm of rain, Pusa 71 mm, Mayur Vihar 48 mm, Narela 30 mm, and Delhi University 29 mm.
