In fact during the last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Wednesday, the Safdarjung observatory recorded a good 14.4 mm of rains.
These rain and associated activities were attributed to the cyclonic circulation which is over Haryana and adjoining areas. A trough has also been extending from this system up to the eastern parts of the country across Delhi. Due to the rains yesterday, the IPL match between the Delhi Daredevils and Rajasthan Royals also suffered and the overs were reduced to 18 per side.
