The clear skies over the last few days are bringing smiles to the common man. The soaring prices of onions are now decreasing thanks to the climate and traders are hopeful that the skyrocketing prices will come down by next month.

Explaining the relation, a trader said that as the skies had cleared up, farmers could now harvest the crop, which till now was rotting in the fields, owing to the rains. This in turn, would reduce the number of spoilt onions coming to the market and help reduce the soaring prices.
