Coimbatore: Heavy rains lashing out for more than an hour in Coimbatore brought about great relief to the people who were suffering from sweltering heat.
For the past 15 days, the scorching 'agni natchathiram' caused a great deal of suffering to people, scaring them away from stepping outdoors. With 'agni natchathiram' coming to an end today, the heavy downpour brought about much needed relief.
Since evening, clouds filled the skies and, for the past hour, heavy rains with thunder fell at various places in the District.
Kavundampalayam, Thudiyalur, Saibaba Colony, Singanallur, Narasimanaickenpalayam and many other areas received heavy rains. Rainwater flooded the streets.
People suffering due to the heat waves welcomed the rains and the subsequent cool weather.
At the Rayapalayam area in Karumathampatti, a banyan tree near the Vinayagar temple was felled by the heavy winds and crashed on an electric pole causing disruption of electricity in the area.
