High Humidity During Monsoon Break Raises Apparent Temperatures Across Indian Cities
Several Indian cities, including Delhi, are experiencing high apparent temperatures nearing 50°C despite actual air temperatures ranging from 32°C to 37°C. This is due to increased humidity during a southwest monsoon break, which slows sweat evaporation and raises the heat index, making conditions feel hotter. The monsoon trough's northward shift has reduced rainfall in central and southern India, allowing humidity to combine with heat, intensifying discomfort across affected regions.
