Rain on Monday morning brought significant relief from the scorching heat. People breathed a sigh of relief as the weather turned pleasant and temperatures dropped. However, the humid heat that set in after the rain caused renewed discomfort in the afternoon. Increased atmospheric moisture led to higher humidity levels, making things difficult for people both at home and in the markets.
Rain beneficial for crops
Although the rain caused water to accumulate on the roads, happiness was clearly visible on people’s faces, as the heatwave of the past few days had been disrupting daily life. Commuters heading to work in the morning also found relief in the cooler weather. Farmers were also delighted by the rainfall; the showers are considered highly beneficial for standing crops. Farmers state that if intermittent rain continues in the coming days, it will greatly benefit paddy and other crops while also reducing irrigation costs. Agricultural experts also believe that this shift in weather could prove positive for farming.
