JAIPUR: The retreating monsoon finally drenched the state with several areas reporting good rain on Sunday. The city recorded 19mm of rain, bringing down the temperature to 33 degree celsius. ( Watch )

Once the rain stopped, a number of people thronged to the Central Park, enjoying their favourite street food. The cool breeze added to the park's pristine and lush green ambience. This change in the weather condition has given a fresh lease of life to the city.

Sunday's downpour delighted the citizens, young and old alike. It also brought them out of the confines of their homes. "I went to the park to get a feel of this much awaited rain and drenched myself completely. The previous week was very hot and humid and this break in monsoon had adversely affected everyone's efficiency," said ManoharLal, an enthusiastic senior citizen from Tonk Road.

Civic agencies' work to fill the pot holes on roads has been undone after this spell of rains but so far, no effort has been made to level them again.

According to the regional Met office Ajmer, Chittorgarh and Churu reported 36mm, 14mm and 16mm of rain, respectively. Banswara district, Garhi, Bhungra and Kesharpura also reported some rain on Saturday.

The weather department forecasts an upper air cyclonic circulation or feeble low pressure area to form over northwest and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal that is likely to move westwards.

This might increase rainfall over north peninsula and adjoining central part of the country.
