Heavy rains brought relief to residents of the Indian capital of New Delhi on Friday, following a prolonged dry heatwave that killed dozens.

India's weather office said western disturbances and south-westerly winds from the Arabian Sea brought moisture and rains in several parts of the country, ending heatwaves across India except for a few districts in northern Uttar Pradesh.

Unrelenting heatwaves caused a havoc in the Indian subcontinent, which witnessed a spike in the cases of heat strokes and other heat-related illnesses in humans and animals alike.

A total of 192 homeless people died in New Delhi between June 11 and June 19, according to government figures shared by the non-profit organization Centre for Holistic Development, higher than in previous years.

India has recorded more than 40,000 suspected heatstroke cases this summer and at least 110 confirmed deaths between March 1 and June 18, when northwest and eastern India recorded more than twice the usual number of heatwave days.
