After the storms, Delhi enjoys a quiet spell but temperatures are on the rise
Following a series of thunderstorms, Delhi experiences a brief lull in weather activity, only to see temperatures surge to uncomfortable levels.
Yesterday’s thunderstorms ripped across Delhi, flashing across the sky and drenching the city for a few hours. By late evening, the clouds thinned, the wind settled, and a surprising stillness settled over the capital.
But that calm was short‑lived. Early this morning the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) warned that the temperature would climb sharply, with readings expected to hover around 36‑38 °C (97‑100 °F) by mid‑day. The heat, they said, feels even more intense because humidity, though lower than during the storms, remains enough to make the air feel sticky.
Residents who had just cleaned up after the rain are now opening windows, turning on fans, and in some neighbourhoods, pulling out umbrellas—not for rain, but for the scorching sun that beats down on the newly washed streets.
"It’s like we went from a downpour to a dry oven in a matter of hours," complained one commuter near Connaught Place. "We’re all just trying to stay cool and not get too dehydrated."
Looking ahead, the IMD’s forecast suggests that the next few days will stay relatively dry, with only isolated showers possible in the outskirts. However, the heat is expected to linger, pushing daily maximums above 40 °C (104 °F) later this week.
Officials advise the public to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activities during peak sun hours, and keep an eye on heat‑related advisories that could be issued if temperatures spike further.
