There may be some respite from the searing heat for Delhiites with the met office predicting a dust storm and thundershowers for Monday.

"The minimum temperature was recorded at 29.5 degrees Celsius. There will be a partly cloudy sky in the day and we also expect a dust storm and thundershowers later today. This could bring down the temperature slightly," an official from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) told IANS.
