A sudden downpour in Jalandhar brought much‑needed relief from the sweltering heat, though waterlogging in several neighborhoods created inconvenience for residents.
Heavy showers swept across Jalandhar today, breaking the prolonged spell of high humidity that had gripped the city.
The rain provided immediate cooling, with temperatures dropping noticeably and residents stepping out to enjoy the fresh air.
However, the sudden downpour also led to water accumulation in low‑lying areas, causing temporary flooding on several streets and disrupting traffic.
Local officials said they are monitoring drainage systems and have deployed crews to clear blocked channels to prevent further inconvenience.
