Delhi is expected to experience hot, humid weather over the next few days, with temperatures likely to rise further. According to the India Meteorological Department, the maximum temperature may reach around 38°C on May 11, while the minimum temperature is expected to stay near 27°C. Though the sky may remain
partly cloudy, it is unlikely to provide much relief from the heat.
Delhi Weather Alert
Humidity levels in the city may rise to nearly 65 percent, making the weather feel more uncomfortable than the actual temperature. Strong sunlight and hot winds during the afternoon are expected to make outdoor conditions difficult for residents. Weather experts said the combination of heat and moisture in the air could increase discomfort across the capital. Moreover, the continuous sunshine and weak western disturbances are keeping temperatures high, while warm nights are reducing the chances of relief after sunset.
The IMD has not issued any official heatwave warning for Delhi yet. However, experts believe people may still experience heat stress due to high temperatures and humidity, as there will be high moisture in the atmosphere. The weather department said temperatures are likely to remain between 36°C and 37°C till May 14. Even if temperatures slightly decrease later in the week, humidity may continue to keep the weather conditions uncomfortable.
Advisory for Residents
People going outside during peak afternoon hours may experience problems, including dehydration, tiredness, headaches, and exhaustion. Doctors have advised residents to drink enough water and avoid staying in direct sunlight for longer periods.
Health experts have also asked people to take precautions during the summer heat. Residents have been advised to avoid outdoor activities between 12 pm and 4 pm when the sun is strongest. Wearing light cotton clothes, covering the head, and staying hydrated can help prevent heat-related problems.
Children, elderly people, and those with existing health issues are considered more vulnerable to the rising temperatures. Commuters and drivers spending long hours outdoors have also been advised to carry water and avoid direct afternoon heat whenever possible.
