There are chances of rain or thunderstorm in the national capital later during the day, which may provide relief from the scorching heat, a MeT Department official told PTI on Tuesday, 4 June.
It was a warm Tuesday morning in Delhi, with partly cloudy skies, as the minimum temperature settled one notch above the season's average at 28.7 degrees Celsius.
Meanwhile, thundershowers accompanied by strong winds in parts of Punjab and Haryana early on Tuesday brought much relief from the heat wave prevailing over the region, news agency IANS reported.
At many places, the maximum temperature hovered close to the 44 degrees Celsius mark for almost a week.
Chandigarh and its surrounding areas were also lashed by rain.
The MeT department has forecast light rains in several areas of both states till Wednesday.
