India
Hyderabad got a surprise evening downpour on Monday, finally easing the city's sticky heat.
The rain kicked off around 7pm and lasted till 9pm soaking areas like Kukatpally, Madhapur, Jubilee Hills, Begumpet, and Secunderabad.
While the cool change was welcome, waterlogged roads meant commuters had to deal with heavy traffic jams.
