This change gave relief to people from the heat, but the sudden strong winds at many places also created a stir.

Heavy rain and hailstorm in the capital

Heavy rain was recorded in many areas of the capital New Delhi. Light hailstorm has also been reported at some places, due to which the weather has become even colder. India Meteorological Department (IMD) had already predicted this change and expressed the possibility of rain with thunderstorms.
