Rains bring relief but cause traffic snarls

Delhiites experienced a pleasant day today with the rains bringing the day's temperature down by a notch and giving a respite from humidity.
However, rains once again brought with it the perennial problem of water-logging which slowed the traffic on roads, leading to long traffic jams.
"The maximum temperature saw a drop of one degree Celsius, before settling at 32.7 deg C, while the humidity level hovered between 75 per cent to 95 per cent. The minimum temperature was recorded at 26.7 deg C, which is normal for this time of the year," the Met department said.
The rain gauges recorded 1.3 mm rainfall in the city between 8.30 AM and 5.30 PM.

Traffic jams were reported at several areas like Dhaula Kuan, Badarpur-Mahipalpur road, ITO, South Extension, Janakpuri, Laxmi Nagar, Azadpur, Bhawal and Okhla, Mukarba Chowk due to water logging.
There were also reports of a tree falling on BRT corridor, blocking the both carriage and causing huge traffic jams.
Weatherman has predicted generally cloudy sky with light rains or thunder showers tomorrow. The maximum and minimum temperatures are likely to remain around 33 and 27 deg C respectively.
