(Sanchit Khanna\/HT Photo)<span\/><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"content \">The humidity levels were between 35% and 63% on the day, and are set to remain high, experts said, predicting muggy days to continue. They said that the city\u2019s humidity levels were high due to a confluence of weather activity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"content \">\u201cCurrently there are southwesterly winds from the Arabian Sea, which are feeding moisture over Pakistan and northwestern India, which are increasing the humidity level. The \u2018feels-like\u2019 temperature is high due to this increased humidity, combined with the high temperature. The monsoon is also not close, as, if it were, winds would be approaching from the Bay of Bengal, which we are currently not seeing. So the \u2018feels-like\u2019 temperature is likely to remain high over the coming few days,\u201d said Mahesh Palawat, vice president of Skymet Weather.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">On the day, Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of 41.3\u00b0C, 4.1\u00b0C above normal, and a minimum temperature of 30.8\u00b0C, 2.9\u00b0C above normal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">The heat index\u2014a measurement to indicate what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with air temperature\u2014 remained high throughout the day. It was 46.2\u00b0C at 11.30am and 47.8\u00b0C at 5.30pm. The higher the humidity, the higher the heat index.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">Experts also said that the wet-bulb temperatures of 29.77\u00b0C at 2.30pm and 28.09\u00b0C at 5.30pm were relatively high.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">A wet-bulb temperature of 32\u00b0C or higher makes it difficult for even fit and acclimatised people to work outdoors for long. At a value of 35\u00b0C \u2014 the highest reading on the scale \u2014 the human body can no longer regulate temperatures, leading to heat stroke and collapse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">According to the IMD\u2019s forecast, the maximum temperature is likely to remain between 39\u00b0C and 41\u00b0C until Monday, after which it is expected to start gradually decreasing, to between 33\u00b0C and 35\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">According to the forecast, rainfall is predicted from Monday to Friday, accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds. A yellow alert for the same has been issued for Tuesday and Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">The minimum temperature is also expected to follow a similar decline, reaching 21\u00b0C to 23\u00b0C by Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">Palwat said that the upcoming decrease in temperature was due to predicted weather activity. \u201cAlthough the humidity is likely to remain for a few days, by July 2 or 3, there are chances of scattered rainfall, which should reduce the temperature. Additionally, monsoon is expected after July 4,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/cities\/delhi-news\/delhi-simmers-at-51-c-real-feel-temp-101782585365654.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Notwithstanding predictions of rainfall and thunderstorms over the weekend falling flat, Delhi recorded one of the sultriest days of this summer as it clocked a heat index or \u201creal feel\u201d&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":186751,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-186750","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-news"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Visitors-during-a-hot-day-at-Red-Fort-in-New-Delhi_1782608742069_1782608764642_64396e11-cf4e-480b-8f.jpeg","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":174068,"url":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/?p=174068","url_meta":{"origin":186750,"position":0},"title":"The temperature reached 51\u00b0 in Jaisalmer, the cooling limit of AC is up to 52\u00b0, how is the cooling after that?","author":"Ajay Kumar Verma","date":"May 29, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Powered by :Last Updated:May 12, 2026, 14:20 ISTThe cooling limit of AC was revealed in Jaisalmer between 51\u00b0C temperature.
