Delhiites woke up to another pleasant day on Tuesday with monsoon showers bringing down the minimum temperature to a comfortable level.

The Met department said the weather will remain cloudy and the city is likely to receive few spells of rain later in the day. The minimum temperature today was recorded at 25.8 degree Celsius, two notches below normal.

“The city received a total of 1.6 mm rainfall between 8:30 am yesterday to 8:30 am today,” a Met official said.

He said the city received several spells of rains last night as well as this morning.

The rainfall also led to water-logging in many areas in South, East and North Delhi.

The monsoon hit the national capital yesterday.
