The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a statement mentioning that there would be more rain, thunderstorms, and even dust storms. It also warned that temperatures are set to bounce back up to a sizzling 43°C after Friday.

The IMD thinks a western disturbance near Jammu and Kashmir is the reason behind the temperature drop on Thursday. This disturbance caused a cyclonic circulation over Haryana, bringing some light and moderate rain to Delhi.

Finally.. First rains in delhi.
