Delhi experienced one of its most uncomfortable weather days of the season as soaring humidity pushed the city's "real feel" temperature to 51.3°C, despite the actual maximum temperature remaining at 41.3°C. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast rain, thunderstorms, and a gradual drop in temperatures beginning Monday.
As India continues to experience prolonged heat due to the return of El Niño, health experts are warning that the effects of soaring temperatures extend far beyond dehydration and heatstroke. Rising temperatures can also have a significant impact on respiratory health, particularly for individuals with asthma, chronic lung diseases and allergies.
