New Delhi, Jan 18:
Heavy rains and hailstorm lashed the national capital today, throwing traffic out of gear in many parts of the city and bringing back the problem of waterlogging.
The showers, which started at around 11 pm yesterday, continued throughout the day and the cloud cover resulted in the minimum temperature rising by over a degree Celsius.
The rain gauges measured 21 mm of rain till 8:30 am. The showers slowed down the vehicular movement in the city, which had received light rains yesterday morning.
Vehicular movement was affected in several areas, including ITO, Vikas Marg and South Extension. Waterlogging was also reported from several areas.
The minimum temperature rose to 11.3 degree Celsius, four degrees above normal and up from yesterday's 9.7 degrees.
However, the windchill factor added to the chill in the air.
The Weatherman has predicted more rains and thunderstorm in the capital tomorrow.
