Temperature to Fall, But Humidity Will Stay High

The rainfall is expected to bring down daytime temperatures significantly after Delhi recorded one of its hottest July days in recent years. The maximum temperature is likely to settle between 32°C and 34°C, while the minimum will remain around 26°C to 27°C.

Despite the cooler temperatures, relief from the heat may be limited because humidity levels are expected to remain between 80% and 95%. The combination of moisture in the air and light winds could continue to make conditions feel uncomfortable even after rainfall.
