Sudden Rise in Temperature After Brief Relief

Delhi-NCR experienced mild relief on April 19 due to light rain, thunderstorms, and gusty winds across parts of Delhi, Haryana, and Chandigarh. This brought a temporary dip in temperature and eased the intense heat. However, this relief is short-lived.
