Delhi experienced heavy rainfall on Thursday, bringing the temperature down to 28.8 degrees Celsius, six degrees below normal. The Safdarjung observatory reported 77.1 mm of rain on August 29. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast a generally overcast sky with light rain and thunderstorms for Delhi-NCR on Friday.

In Gujarat, heavy rainfall has led to severe waterlogging in several towns, with more rain expected due to a deep depression over Kachchh and Saurashtra.

In response, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel held a meeting to discuss disaster preparedness.
