Despite monsoon rains, Delhi feels 49 degrees due to high humidity

Forecasts and Recommendations

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a yellow warning for light or moderate rain, and precipitation is expected to continue until July 10. It is forecasted that the maximum temperature will remain within 35-37 degrees, and the minimum around 26-28 degrees. Nevertheless, due to humidity, the felt temperature will remain high. Experts advise people to avoid prolonged time outdoors during the day, drink plenty of water, and wear loose, light-colored clothing. Special attention should be paid to children and the elderly. It is also noted that the air quality in Delhi has improved, reaching an AQI of 94, which is better than in previous days, as the rain helped settle dust.

District Details and Temperature Determination

In the Naraina area, 4 mm of precipitation was registered, while in other places, it did not rain, leading to different humidity levels. Although there was heavy rain in some places on Sunday, its effect weakened by Monday. Specialists believe that the intensity of rainfall may increase in the coming days, which will allow humidity to decrease and bring relief. The felt temperature, or humidity index, is calculated by combining the actual temperature and the level of humidity in the air; for example, at a temperature of 38 degrees and 80 percent humidity, the felt temperature can be 49 degrees, reflecting the real impact on the body. Meteorologists warn that significant changes in temperature are not expected in the next three to four days, but heavy rains may reduce humidity and perceived temperature.
