Delhi Weather Today
The rising temperature in Delhi is mostly happening because the skies are clear and the hot northwesterly winds keep blowing through. Weather experts say that with no cloud cover, direct sunlight heats the ground super quick so the day feels even more scorching also less comfortable for people outside.
People should stay alert since the temperature keeps rising and a heatwave is hovering over the city. Try to avoid direct contact with sunlight or don’t stay in the sun for too long as it can lead to dehydration, heavy tiredness, dizziness, and other heat-related health issues.
For those working outside, they should drink plenty of water, wear light cotton clothes, and take frequent pauses in shady or cooler places.
