As political storms were still on and the members of the media were seen reporting from the grounds on May 9, 2026, the sudden heat wave transformed into cool breeze as grey clouds began replacing the bright sun. The weather appeared unpredictable, with the sun playing hide and sick behind the clouds. Usually dry and empty roads became wet, at 12 noon in May feels cool and pleasant.
Roadside tea stalls became crowded as the bikes rushing on the roads are halted for a break due to the drizzles. Some continued their journey wearing raincoats. People adapted quickly to the unexpected showers. Office goers rushed through the streets holding the umbrellas over their formal attire while student enjoyed splashing through puddles. Roadside shops quickly covered their stalls with plastic sheets to protect their goods from the rain.
Saraswati, a road side vendor who opens her shop promptly at dawn said that she opened her shop only at 7.a.m, due to continuous rains and her first sale happened only after an hour.
The sudden shower brought both beauty and inconveniences. While many welcome the pleasant relief from heat, waterlogging in certain areas creates difficulties for commuters. Even after the rain stopped, water continued to drip from beneath the bridges, causing inconvenience for bike riders passing through the area. Autos and bikes moved slowed due to slippery roads.
Children enjoyed the rain, but many mothers worried about drying clothes!
The cool breeze after rain encouraged people to sit on their balconies and enjoy the refreshing weather. According to weather forecasts, intermittent showers and cloudy skies are expected to continue over the coming days.
