A night shower across Delhi and the National Capital Region eased high humidity and brought a noticeable dip in temperatures, according to the Indian Meteorological Department.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) released its latest weather bulletin, noting that a patch of rain fell over Delhi and the surrounding National Capital Region during the night. The rainfall helped to lower the region’s humidity levels, which had been unusually high for the season.
Meteorologists said the overnight showers brought a welcome relief to residents and commuters who had been dealing with oppressive heat and dampness. The rain also contributed to a noticeable drop in temperatures, making the air feel more comfortable.
City officials reported that traffic flow improved as the humidity decreased, and many people noted a reduction in the oppressive feel that had characterized the day. The IMD advised that the weather is expected to remain mild for the next few days, with no further significant rainfall anticipated.
Residents and local businesses are taking advantage of the cooler, drier conditions, and the city’s air quality index has shown a modest improvement following the night’s showers.
