This is not “warm.” This is weather that has declared war on your comfort. April through June can — and routinely do — hit 45°C and beyond, the kind of heat that turns tarmac soft, makes the horizon shimmer like a hallucination, and renders any outdoor activity between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. an act of either heroism or poor planning.
The sun rises punishingly early (5:00– 5:30 a.m.) and sets late (7:30–8:00 p.m.), giving you a brief window at either end of the day to actually do things without melting into the pavement.
Carry water everywhere. Sunscreen and a hat are non-negotiable — dehydration and heatstroke are real risks, not just discomfort.
And here’s a bleak silver lining: thanks to Delhi’s pollution, the sun doesn’t singe quite as savagely as it would on a hot summer day in Madrid or Munich.
But that’s rather like saying the food poisoning was mild because it only lasted two days.
