New Delhi, Sep 25 (IANS) It was a hot and humid Wednesday for Delhi with rain in the evening.

The day remained partly cloudy with the maximum temperature touching 34.5 degrees Celsius, average for this time of the year.
Rainfall in the evening, however, caused traffic snarls as several arterial roads connecting key areas got choked.
