Pre-Monsoon rain cools Delhi and surrounding areas

Delhi and the NCR finally got a good dose of rain on Saturday, offering some much-needed relief from the relentless heat.
The IMD has put out an orange alert, warning everyone to expect more monsoon showers between June 30 and July 1.
Even with the rain, though, temperatures are still hovering around 37°C.

TL;DR

Traffic snarls in several areas

While the downpour cooled things off a bit, it also led to messy traffic in several areas—like near Sheikh Sarai and Chirag Delhi.
Plus, high humidity is still making it feel pretty sticky outside.
With heavier rains expected over the next couple of days, you might want to plan for possible delays and keep an umbrella handy!
