Temperature

July signifies a gentle decline in New Delhi's average high-temperature, easing from a blisteringly hot 42.4°C (108.3°F) in June to a fiery hot 37.6°C (99.7°F). During the month of July, an average low-temperature of 29.7°C (85.5°F) is recorded in New Delhi.

Heat index

Throughout July, the heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 50°C (122°F). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
