Prolonged Heat in North India Raises AC Electricity Bills; Experts Suggest Efficiency Tips
North India is experiencing prolonged heat and humidity beyond the traditional Nautapa period due to a transition between El Niño and La Niña, delaying monsoon onset and causing sustained high temperatures. This sticky heat increases reliance on air conditioners, leading to higher electricity bills in Delhi-NCR and surrounding areas. Energy experts suggest that households can reduce AC electricity consumption by up to 30% through simple habits, regular maintenance, and measures to improve cooling efficiency and reduce heat exposure.
