Amid a brutal heatwave in the national capital, a heavy rainfall lashed parts of Delhi-NCR on Thursday, making the city wet after intense heat of the summer season.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has also predicted light to moderate rainfall, along with thunderstorms, in the coming three days, noting the fluctuation in weather conditions due to the western disturbance. Cloudy skies and rainfall, with up to 35 km per hour gusty winds, have been predicted in Delhi, a climate the city has been waiting for the past few months to escape the harsh heat.

The heavy downpour lashed the city centers such as Munirka, Sarita Vihar, Noida, and Ghaziabad, which are part of the National Capital Region (NCR).

The weather forecasting agency has predicted moderate rainfall on June 30 in the national capital. It has also predicted heavy (64.5–115.5 mm) to very heavy (115.5–204.4 mm) rainfall at isolated places over West Uttar Pradesh in the next two days, according to a social media post.

The capital city was reeling under severe heatwave and the season notably recorded the highest ever temperature, sweltering in 52.3 degree Celsius in May this year.
