“It was becoming unbearable, especially with frequent power cuts. Today’s rain felt like a blessing,” said Neha, a homemaker from BRS Nagar.

The city had been experiencing temperatures soaring above 42°C for the past week, coupled with high humidity levels that made conditions extremely uncomfortable. The downpour not only lowered the temperature, but also improved the air quality and settled the dust on city roads.

India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted more showers in the coming days.
