Delhi had recorded its second hottest April this year since 1951 with a monthly average maximum temperature of 40.2 degrees Celsius. However, the fresh spell of rain brought a sigh of relief among the citizens. Take a look.
A hailstorm hit parts of Delhi, while rainfall in isolated areas provided some relief from the heat. People in Rohini, Pitampura, and Paschim Vihar reported hailstorms, rain, and high winds at 2 pm.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had issued a yellow signal earlier in the morning, warning of a dust storm, thunderstorm, or hail storm with winds blowing up to 50 kilometres per hour in the national capital.
