Delhi-NCR Weather Update: Heavy rains in Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, and other parts of the National Capital Region on Thursday morning brought cool relief to the people. The sound of rain falling from the sky in the morning and the smell of soil washed away the sticky heat that had been going on for many days. When the coolness spread in the air, people’s faces also blossomed.
Difficulties, along with relief, waterlogging in many areas
While the rain brought relief, it also brought some problems with it. There were reports of waterlogging in many low-lying areas of Delhi-NCR, which slowed down the traffic.
