Nagpur: The city experienced moderate unseasonal rains late Sunday evening, resulting in waterlogging in several low-lying areas as is typical during such weather events. This led to a slowdown in traffic movement at various major junctions across the city.
Throughout the day, the sun intermittently hid behind clouds, eventually giving way to cloudy skies by evening. Subsequently, thunderstorms and lightning ensued, possibly as a sequel to Saturday’s devastation, with isolated incidents of tree uprooting reported in a few areas.
