This rain is typical for summer time and falls out during thunderstorm activity. She also noted the uneven distribution of rainfall in the city districts. </p> <p> </p> <p> Since a lot of rain fell in a short time, the rainwater did not have time to soak into the soil and soaped the soil on the roadway in some places. According to the Committee for External Improvement, 32 sweeping machines and 60 watering machines were used to clean up the consequences of the rain in the evening. </p> <p> </p> <p> In addition, intensive rainfall has exerted an increased load on urban storm drainage networks.
