Today, Delhi's maximum temperature could touch 32 degrees Celsius, while the minimum will be around 15 degrees. You'll get a mix of cool mornings and evenings with a slightly hot day. The humidity is expected to be around 25%, so the weather won't feel too sticky or 'umas bhara'. Since the temperature is a bit above normal, the afternoon sun might feel quite strong. The summer heat is already making its presence felt in early March.

Since strong winds are expected during the day, it's important to protect your eyes and skin when you go out. Sunglasses and a light mask will be useful to avoid the dust. The sun can be quite harsh between 12 PM and 3 PM, so staying hydrated is a must. It's best for the elderly and children to avoid being in the open sun for too long. Even though there's no official warning, it's always smart to be careful with changing weather.
