Chandigarh Records 58.3 mm Rain Causing Waterlogging and Traffic Delays
Chandigarh experienced 58.3 mm of rain within about an hour on Tuesday evening, causing waterlogging and traffic congestion in several city areas. The India Meteorological Department attributed the showers to high temperatures, humidity, and local weather conditions, with the monsoon axis shifting southwards. While some parts of the city remained dry, the rainfall increased Chandigarh's seasonal total, though a deficit persists. Temperatures slightly dropped, and light rain is expected to continue over the next few days.
