A few days if testing heat and humidity. Followed by a cloudy day. And well, surprise, surprise! Today, Sunday 25 th June, we woke up to rains. They have been continuing since early morning 5 am and it's 12 pm now. Many records must have been broken. Plus I checked that Monsoons have hit Delhi NCR in Northern India 2 days earlier than forecasted. The weather is pleasant and by evening, it would be in slightly cool range. Well, if it were in my hands I would have laid out Millions of buckets all over the city to collect a lot of rainwater. Enjoying the nice weather as of now ! News link :

@AmbiePam If all this rainwater could have been captured and stored, it can solve water problems for many ! But a lot of relief as of now from the heat and humidity.

@nela13 So what was the maximum temperature that was reached? Here too we had a few days of 40 C temperatures. Now, we have the Monsoon rains that have started. Yet we would still have hot and humid days, in between rainy days.

We had a cooler temperature here too because of the rain. It's good you had some rain too to lower the humidity.

@sathviksouvik Yes, it bought good relief from the heat. On the flip side, waterlogging and the traffic blockages it created.
