Monsoon finally arrives in India after long delay without rainfall

The long-delayed monsoon season finally arrived early on Tuesday (13 July) giving farmers and citizens a much-needed respite from the heat.

The rain finally came to Delhi, India’s capital, as well as the adjoining cities of Gurgaon, Faridabad, Noida, and Ghaziabad in the region.
