New Delhi: Rains lashed several parts of the national capital in the evening after dust-laden winds swept the city, even as the maximum temperature settled at 37.8 degrees Celsius. Humidity levels oscillated between 77 per cent and 49 per cent.

“The maximum temperature was recorded at 37.8 degrees Celsius, a notch above the normal while the minimum temperature settled at 29.9 degrees Celsius, two notches above normal,” an MeT Department official said.

At least six Delhi-bound flights have been diverted to other destinations due to rains in the city. They include five Air India flights, and a Vistara flight, sources in the Delhi airport said, adding that the number could rise.
