Pre-monsoon rains cool Delhi

NEW DELHI - Pre-monsoon showers cooled New Delhi down by several notches on Sunday.

After days of dealing with severe heat, the capital woke up to a thick cloud cover and rain, bringing down the soaring mercury.

The temperature, which was hovering around 40s on Saturday, plunged to 26 degrees Celsius.

However, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said the rains were not monsoon showers and that the monsoon is expected to hit the capital only next week. (ANI)
