Dusty Morning with Cooler Temperatures

The national capital woke up to a hazy skyline as dust storms reduced visibility across several areas. The minimum temperature hovered around 21°C, making the morning feel relatively pleasant compared to recent heatwaves. However, poor air quality and suspended dust particles caused discomfort, especially for daily commuters navigating through the city.
