The humidity is what gets me - even if temps are in mid-30s, it feels like 45! At least the winds will help a bit. Just hoping the roads don't get waterlogged like last monsoon season.
Typical Delhi weather - unpredictable! One day it's scorching, the next it's cloudy. At least Faridabad might get some proper thundershowers. But honestly, weather forecasting in India still needs improvement. 🤷♂️
Mid-30s is actually quite normal for this time of year, but the humidity makes it unbearable. The AC bill is going to be sky-high this month! At least the cloudy skies mean we can step out without an umbrella risk.
I actually prefer this over the extreme heat we had in June. Light rain and cloudy skies make for a perfect chai-samosa evening! ☕ Just hope the power doesn't go out during the rain.
Living in Noida, the partial clouds are okay but the humidity is the real enemy. Wish the authorities would improve drainage systems - every year we face the same issues when proper rains hit. Just saying what every NCR resident thinks.
Thank God for this weather! My plants
