A spell of heavy rain around noon, however, inundated several parts of the capital, causing waterlogging and disrupting daily life.

The accumulated rainwater submerged roads in low-lying areas, slowing traffic and forcing commuters and pedestrians to wade through ankle- to knee-deep water.

Vehicles were also seen moving at a snail's pace through waterlogged streets.
The photos were taken from Motijheel and Paltan areas after Jummah prayers.
