The much-heralded early onslaught of monsoon showers took the weekend off, sparing Delhiites the unexpected downpours and soggy clothes. Up until Sunday evening, the Safdarjung Meteorological Department (SDM) recorded zero rainfall. Cloudy skies with spells of sunshine saw holidaymakers making the most of the outdoors, crowding around India Gate or boating in the historic moat of Purana Qila.
