The sun continued to play truant, skies remained obstinately cloudy, clothes refused to dry, and commuters suffered under the drizzle and cold weather for a second consecutive day on Wednesday.
One could almost sniff the dampness around, from the air, from the wet soil, from the thoroughly soaked roads and buildings, from the abundance of umbrellas and raincoats, and from the dank tiny roadside workshops that dripped from the eaves.
Yet, thankfully, the city largely escaped major issues typical of a rainy day, as it was only a drizzle throughout, intensifying into moderate rain sporadically, largely during the night.
