The temperature in Delhi dropped to 23.4 degrees Celsius Saturday, which was 10 degrees below normal for this time of the year. This drastic drop in temperatures was credited to the incessant rain in the national capital since Friday night.
The city’s infrastructure reeled under the continuous showers that led to water logging and inundated many residential areas, which in turn caused traffic snarls.
Netizens commented on everything from the drastic change in the weather to infrastructure woes through memes.
