As Heavy Rain Slows Down Delhi, Humour On Twitter

Heavy rain hit several parts of Delhi and adjoining areas in the early hours of Tuesday, leading to long traffic jams and severe waterlogging in some parts of the city. The rainfall flooded roads and even resulted in certain schools in Gurgaon announcing a holiday due to the bad weather. However, it hasn't dampened Delhi's love for humour. As the hashtag 'Delhi Rains' continues to trend on Twitter, here are some of the funniest reactions to the rain that has hit Delhi NCR:
