more-inOvercast skies and widespread thundershowers that lashed many parts of the city brought delight to residents assaulted by an unusually hot July and August, and a city starved of rains. On Saturday, the weather station at Nungambakkam recorded 35 mm of rainfall within a few hours in the evening. Thundershowers had also brought down the day temperature to normal of 34. Some parts of the city were waterlogged after the sudden showers, raising concerns over flooding during the northeast monsoon. T. Gunaseelan, a resident, said the junction near Ambattur telephone exchange became waterlogged within a short time.
