The city saw heavy rainfall again on Wednesday, after a few days of humid heat and bright sun. It began to rain thick and fast around 5pm, and continued at that pace till 5:30, after which it began to drizzle. By 8:30 pm that night, the meteorological department recorded rainfall of 33.8 mm in the city. This brought about a marked release from the heat. While maximum temperature on Wednesday was 33.2 degrees, the minimum was 22.4 degrees.
The monsoons have been more of a curse than a blessing this year, having arrived much later and heavier than expected. Most crops in the region suffered heavy damage.
