On Saturday, the maximum temperature settled at 34 degrees, while the minimum was recorded at 21 degrees Celsius. Mild showers were also witnessed throughout the day.

Even though the civic poll heat is at its peak in the city with voting scheduled for Sunday, the maximum temperature tomorrow is expected to be 35 degrees Celsius and the minimum 20 degrees Celsius. The forecast says that Sunday will witness partly overcast skies through the day.

Even though the week ahead will be punctuated by rainfall, Delhiites are not complaining. On the contrary, the showers have brought a welcome respite from the summer heat.

"Sure rains bring traffic jams along but we hope it remains this way for some more time at least. With the summer advancing, it is a welcome change to have light showers through the day. The nights, especially, are very pleasant," said Vanita Mehta, a resident of Malviya Nagar.
