A spell of rain Sunday cooled Delhi and adjoining areas in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. The Met office has forecast more rainfall during the day.
Sunday's minimum temperature settled at 25 degrees Celsius, slightly below the season's average.
The rains, which cooled the capital, also led to water logging and traffic snarls in many parts.

"This rain was much awaited. I am glad it lasted for sometime, making it a pleasant Sunday," Karan Khanna, a college student, told IANS.
Residents also reported rainfall in Noida in Uttar Pradesh and Gurgaon in Haryana. Both places border the Indian capital.
