Delhi has seen a return of cloud cover today, but temperatures remain high.
Delhi’s weather today marked a brief shift as clouds rolled in over the capital, offering a momentary respite from the relentless heat. Meteorological reports indicate that while cloud cover has increased, the city’s temperature is still hovering around 38°C, keeping the heat index alarmingly high.
The Delhi Meteorological Department warned residents that the cloud cover is likely to be short‑lived, with clear skies expected to return by late afternoon. Humidity levels remain elevated, which could exacerbate the discomfort for those outdoors.
Health officials urged people to stay hydrated, avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, and use air conditioning or fans where possible. The heatwave’s persistence has already led to a rise in heat‑related hospital visits across the city.
Despite the brief cloud cover, Delhi’s overall climate pattern for the week remains dominated by high temperatures and low wind speeds, according to the latest forecast.
Residents and commuters are advised to monitor local weather updates and take precautions to mitigate the impact of the sustained heat.
