| The Weather in New Delhi | |||
|
|
The climate has three distinct seasons in New Delhi: the dry-hot season from mid-April to mid-July; the wethot or rainy season from mid-July to September; and the cool season from October to March. | ||
|
The dry-hot season is marked by sustained high temperatures, extreme dryness,
and frequent dust storms. Average daily maximum temperatures are as follows:
March 87, April 98, May 106, June 104 degrees Farenheit. During this period, individual
daily high temperatures often reach 110-117. Minimum temperatures are
correspondingly high. The daily average minimum temperature for May is 80,
for June, 83. There is virtually no rainfall during the dry-hot season, and
the extreme dryness produces severe dust storms which build up suddenly and
violently. Fine layers of dust sift indoors and can damage clothes, furniture
and fine equipment.
The rainy or monsoon season commences in Delhi about the first of July and sometimes continues until late in September. Rather than a steady downpour, there are sporadic showers and occasionally violent storms. The rain breaks the long period of sustained high temperatures of the dry-hot season, but the temperature is still high and the combination of heat and high humidity is uncomfortable. New Delhi's annual rainfall is about 25-37 inches and most of this occurs during the monsoon season. Often the monsoon ends early and is followed by another month or so of hot, dry weather. the residential areas in New Delhi are not usually threatened.
