Delhi on Monday is going to be another extremely hot day due to heat wave and the dry weather as the maximum temperature is likely to touch up to 44°C. The minimum temperature is expected to remain at 26°C, which indicates that the nights are also likely to be extremely hot for the people. There can be strong winds during the early mornings; however, they won’t offer any respite from the extreme heat.

Delhi recorded the highest temperature of 41.9 degrees Celsius on Sunday. As per reports from the Indian Meteorological Department, there is an expected rise in temperature in the upcoming days. It is said by the meteorological department that an increase in heat waves will be seen during afternoon times when the sun burns at its peak.

The humidity rate is observed to be 28 percent on Sunday that resulted in dryness in the air, but due to extreme heat in the environment, the weather is found to be very uncomfortable. Likewise, in the present condition, the weather will also make people feel uncomfortable and find it difficult for them to remain outside in the afternoon period. People have been advised to stay inside their houses and avoid going outside at peak timings, i.e. from 12 am to 4 pm.

As temperatures rise, there have been warnings from health practitioners advising the public to be extra careful. Dehydration, fatigue, and dizziness among many other diseases can be experienced because of continuous exposure to sunlight. Those who work outdoors have been advised to drink lots of fluids, wear cotton clothes, and take rest during breaks.

Delhi’s air quality also remained a concern amid the ongoing heatwave conditions. According to data released by the Central Pollution Control Board, the city’s Air Quality Index (AQI) stood at 174 on Sunday evening, placing it in the “moderate” category. Under the AQI scale, readings between 101 and 200 are classified as moderate.

While the pollution levels are not currently considered severe, people with respiratory conditions may still experience discomfort. Experts believe that the continued hot and stagnant weather conditions could prevent any major improvement in air quality in the coming days.
