The meteorologists have forecast that the Delhi NCR area will be dealing with unstable weather, hot spells, and dry air over the next few days, mostly because of the heat wave conditions going on across northern India. It has been observed that dry winds , unbroken sunshine, and clear skies are what stop the temperature from easing even a little. With no moisture in the air and almost no rainfall, the situation has become more and more uncomfortable for people in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad and Faridabad. For many residents, it is already becoming hard to manage the rising temperatures, the hot nights, and those dry, irritating winds. Because of this , it is also tougher to run normal routines and to step outside, specially around the afternoon. The meteorologists also say that there might be some relief from the heat only if some pre-monsoon activity shows up in northern India. If that happens, then there may be clouds, gusty winds , dust storms, and even a few isolated showers, all of which should help lower the temperature in Delhi NCR.
