Humidity level in the national capital rose over 80 per cent today, making life uneasy for Dellhiites, though rains in some parts of the city offered a bit of relief.
According to a MeT official, the Ridge Observatory recorded 1.8 mm rainfall while overcast conditions prevailed in areas under Safdarjung, Palam and Ayanagar which received "nil" rainfall.
The maximum temperature was recorded at 34.5 degree Celsius, a notch above the normal and 0.7 degrees less than yesterday.
The minimum was recorded at 26.2 degree Celsius, normal for this time of the year, and 1.4 degrees less than yesterday.
The humidity level hovered between 81 and 52 per cent, the official said.
"The sky will remain partly cloudy and thundery conditions could occur in some areas. The maximum and minimum are likely to be 35 and 27 degrees, respectively," said the weatherman.
