New Delhi/IBNS: Heavy rains in parts of Delhi on Friday provided much-needed relief to the sweltering heat in the national capital.
Isolated pockets received a heavy drizzle with strong winds, which in turn brought down the mercury.
The weather department has predicted thunderstorms with gusty winds on Saturday.
A partly cloudy sky with rains is likely to keep the mercury in check for the next three to four days, the weather department said.
Earlier on Thursday, the maximum temperature rose to a scorching 43.6 degrees Celcius, three degrees above normal.
