Lucknow/ Kanpur/ Mumbai, July 5 (ANI): Heavy rains lashed several parts of Uttar Pradesh on Thursday, even as Mumbai continues to reel under the incessant downpour.
The first spell of downpour in north India brought much needed respite from the prolonged heat wave.
Kamna Sharma, a resident from
Kanpur, said, "We are feeling good after today's rainfall. It was very
hot since few days and we are enjoying the weather."
Lucknow also witnessed heavy showers on Thursday morning leaving many areas inundated.
Amardeep Singh, an elated resident, said the downpour had brought relief from soaring temperatures and humidity.
"The weather has become pleasant
and we are enjoying it. Now there will be no problem of water and the
rains have come as a respite for the farmers," Singh said.
The meteorological department has predicted that the rainfall may continue for couple of days.
Meanwhile, incessant rains for the second consecutive day have hit the normal life in Mumbai.
"Every year we face this problem.
Government is also working hard but it has been continuously raining
since few days. This has resulted in water logging due to which people
are facing lot of problems in commuting. I work here and I do not have
any other alternate route so, I have to walk through this water logged
street," Sonal, a school teacher, complained.
India is sticking to its forecast of an average monsoon this year despite a slow start. (ANI)
