The climate of Delhi (India)
Delhi is one of the largest urban areas in the world. Officially it is
called: National Metropolitan Territory of Dehli. In popular language
by Dehli is also meant New Dehli. This is the capital of India and it
is situated in the urban area of Dehli at the bank of the river Yumana
and the first people already settled here some 2000 years B.C. For a
long time the town played an important role in the trade routes
running through India and also at the time of the various rulers, such
as the English, was an important town. Throughout the town the present
and the past meet. You can find present architecture as well as
beautiful colonial buildings and wonderful ancient temples together
here. Whether it is the extremely beautiful modern-shaped Lotus temple
or the ancient Akshardham Temple. Both are more than worth visiting.
Delhi has a warm China climate. This climate is characterized by a
difference in seasons and a very wet summer and dry winter. In March
the wind comes mainly from the north-west. Thus very warm air is
conveyed and therefore the temperature is very high from March up to
and including October. From June the air humidity increases due to the
arrival of the rainy period. In combination with the high temperature
this is far from agreeable. Some cooling arrives in November when the
short winter begins. In the month of January dense fog can regularly
occur.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
