The wind direction will be south-easterly (SE) and the speed is estimated to be around 7.7 km/h . At other times of the day, the same wind can reach a speed of 17.9 km/h. In such a situation, instead of getting relief from the wind, the experience of humidity and heat may increase (humidity in Delhi, wind speed Delhi).
Rise in temperature and effect of heat
Delhi is experiencing hot winds in the last week of July. Due to temperatures above 36°C, city dwellers may have to suffer throughout the day. The continuous rise (Delhi temperature update) has clearly shown that the monsoon activity is limited at the moment.
Due to the humid heat and slow wind speed, there will be an increase in the Delhi heat index. The Meteorological Department has clarified that there is no possibility of rain at present, due to which it will be difficult to get relief from the heat.
The role of wind speed and direction
The wind direction and speed of Delhi will greatly affect the weather experience today. While the wind speed is going to be around 7.7 km/h at the beginning of the day, it can increase to 17.9 km/h in the afternoon (Delhi weather SE wind). This wind speed along with the temperature will not be able to reduce the humidity, due to which the effect of heat will be felt more on the body.
If we believe the weather department, there will be no major change in the weather right now. In such a situation, Delhiites will have to take special precautions to avoid the heat today.
