Rain Brings Relief From Heat Most parts of Delhi received light rainfall, while some areas saw moderate showers.
The sudden change in weather helped bring down temperatures after days of intense heat.

A red alert is issued when weather conditions can pose a risk to life and property, requiring people to take immediate precautions.
Temperature Drops Across Delhi The rain and cloudy weather led to a noticeable drop in temperature.
Safdarjung, Delhi's main weather station, recorded a maximum temperature of 34. 6 degrees Celsius on Friday, which was 5. 3 degrees below normal.
The rainfall came a day after strong winds and showers lashed Delhi-NCR on Thursday evening, bringing relief from the hot and humid conditions.
More Rain Likely Over Next Few Days The IMD has said thunderstorm activity is likely to continue in the coming days.
A yellow alert has been issued for Saturday, with rain and thunderstorms expected across the city.
The weather department has forecast a maximum temperature of around 37 degrees Celsius and a minimum of about 23 degrees Celsius on Saturday.
