The summer months have been made more uncomfortable by the long power cuts in Delhi. “There was no power in our colony from 2 am to 6 am. Sitting outside was no relief either as the temperature was too high,” said Raashi Kaul, a resident of Patparganj.

“We are facing power cuts every night for the past three days,” said Pallavi Joshi, a resident of Malviya Nagar.

However, there is some good news. The Met department has predicted light rainfall and thunder showers for Thursday. “There might be a little rain fall but the temperatures are expected to remain high,” said the weatherman.
