Bengaluru (PTI): Bringing much relief to the people battered by the scorching summer, heavy rains coupled with hailstorm lashed the city on Wednesday.

The thunderous downpour with stormy wind cooled the city, where the temperature had soared to 37 degree.

With the rains, the city, from being parched, witnessed waterlogging in just two hours.

There was waist-deep water in many areas in the city such as Richmond Town and Shanthinagar resembling a river.

The unexpected rain did not spare Vidhana Soudha, the seat of power, as water gushed inside the government offices from the lobby. The office of the Leader of the Opposition in the Karnataka Assembly R Ashoka was also flooded.

Since the downpour occurred in the evening, many office goers struggled to return home.

Uprooting of trees was reported in many parts of the city, including Malleswaram, Shanthinagar and Seshadripuram.
