Delhi gets relief from humid weather as rain lashes parts of national capital

Rain lashed parts of Delhi on Thursday, bringing further respite from the humid weather.

Visuals from 7, Lok Kalyan Marg in Delhi showed rain drizzling.

In June, the national capital received the highest rainfall in 88 years.


According to the Indian Meteorological Department, Delhi experienced 228 mm of rainfall from 8:30 am on Thursday, June 27, to 8:30 am, June 28. This is the highest 24-hour rainfall in June that the national capital has seen since 1936, when 235.5 mm was recorded.

Due to the rain, the water levels in the Yamuna River are expected to rise in the coming days, prompting the authorities to issue an alert to the residents of the villages of Noida situated along the banks of the river.

These villages experienced severe flooding during last year's monsoon season, causing significant inconvenience to residents of both Delhi and Noida.
