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.
The arrival of the monsoon brings much-needed relief from the summer heat, but it can also create new challenges for people living with asthma, allergies, and sinus conditions. Changes in temperature, rising humidity levels, increased pollen, and the growth of mould can all affect respiratory health, making symptoms more frequent and severe.
