Hail and rain in parts of Delhi provided a much-needed respite from the sweltering heat in the national capital. Isolated bags reported that the drizzle was accompanied by strong winds, which in turn reduced the mercury levels and left a cool breeze afterward.
Residents in Rohini, Pitampura and Paschim Vihar reported hail around 2pm accompanied by rain and strong winds. South Delhi also saw the same thing a few hours later.

The maximum temperature at Safdarjung Observatory, Delhi’s base station, is likely to stabilize around 38 degrees Celsius.
The minimum temperature recorded was 28.8 degrees Celsius, four degrees above normal for this time of year.
Due to a westerly turbulence affecting northwest India, cloudy skies are forecast to cover the capital for the next three days, the IMD said.
Mercury will rise by 4 to 5 tracks over the next 6 days. However, no heat wave is predicted in advance.
