Rains lashed most parts of North India, including the Capital, providing much needed relief to people across the region who had been reeling under a severe heat wave for the last over one month.
The capital received the first pre-monsoon showers leading to temperatures dropping by at least three notches from Thursday.
While the maximum temperatures was recorded at 38.4 degrees Celsius, the minimum was 29.1 degrees.
Widespread pre-monsoon showers lashed most parts of Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh, bringing down the mercury and raising humidity levels in the region.
The rains brought the maximum temperature down by up to three points in most parts of Punjab and Haryana. Chandigarh and its surrounding areas were also lashed by heavy rains.
Monsoons were active over parts of Eastern UP and further advanced to some more areas in the Western districts of Uttar Pradesh.
Met office said that conditions were favourable for the monsoon to reach the remaining parts of UP during the next two-three days.
