New Delhi/IBNS: Delhi is likely to witness another spell of thunderstorms and heavy rains on Monday night in a much-needed respite from the sweltering heat.
Intense heatwave conditions are unlikely to hit Delhi for at least another six days, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has said.
The national capital received a bout of heavy rains in the morning, that was caused due to a western disturbance affecting northwest India.
There was moderate to heavy rainfall accompanied by strong gusty winds blowing at 80 kmph.
The rains accompanied by thunderstorms also brought down the mercury level with a minimum temperature of 17.2 degrees Celsius, nine notches below the season's average.
The capital recorded the lowest minimum temperature for May since May 1, 2004.
