Heavy rain lashed Delhi on Tuesday morning with several areas receiving hailstorm.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had predicted cloudy sky with light rain or drizzle, with gusty winds through the day.

The minimum and maximum temperature likely to be around 9 and 21 degrees Celsius respectively.

The capital and its neighbouring areas have been witnessing a sudden spell of rains accompanied by thundershowers post-Monday afternoon.

The showers continued during evening and night leading to a drop in temperature.

"Another Western Disturbance would affect Northwest India from January 24 onwards," warned the IMD.

Delhi received the wet spell on Monday due to western disturbances, said the IMD.

On Monday, the national capital received rains, a day after recording the warmest January day since 2012 on Sunday. -- ANI
