Meanwhile, temperature dropped significantly as cool winds and occasional showers covered the city and its surroundings.
Meteorological Department’s forecast of continuous rain until June 7 raised hopes for lasting relief from the recent heatwave. However, the sudden change in weather also brought its own challenges.
Lightning strikes and heavy rainfall led to power outages in many areas of the city.
