The rain, which started around 5:30 am and continued intermittently for around two hours in most parts of the city, has brought relief from the heat.

The city recorded 7.4 mm rainfall till 8.30 am. The rain occurred due to fresh and active Western Disturbance in the northern part of the country.

The maximum temperature was recorded at 36°C, which was 1.5 degrees below normal. The weather will remain partly cloudy with possibility of the rain, thunderstorm and lightning over the next two days. The temperature will remain around 35°C in the next three days.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
