Delhi Weather Update: Thunderstorms Mark Mid-August with Temperatures Peaking at 34°C

As of August 14, 2025, New Delhi is experiencing typical monsoon-influenced weather with thunderstorms expected throughout the day. The maximum temperature is forecasted to reach 34°C, while the minimum temperature will hover around 27°C, accompanied by high humidity levels of approximately 90%. Atmospheric pressure is stable at about 100.7 kPa.

The weather conditions reflect the tail end of the monsoon season, with Delhi seeing intermittent rainfall for roughly half the month of August. These conditions result in a hot, humid environment with frequent rain spells interspersed with sunny intervals.

Humidity and heat combine to produce a sultry atmosphere, typical for this time of year in Delhi. Residents and visitors are advised to stay hydrated and prepare for sudden thunderstorms. The UV index is low, rated at 1, reducing the risk of sunburn despite the warm temperatures.

The forecast for the following day, August 15, indicates temperatures ranging between 32°C and 27°C, along with ongoing humid conditions and likely rain showers.

August is generally characterized by high temperatures ranging from 29°C to 36°C, with average humidity around 76%, and considerable rainfall averaging above 140 mm for the month. This aligns with the typical monsoon pattern, which brings both relief from summer heat and challenges such as traffic delays during major national events like India’s Independence Day celebrations on August 15.

Given these weather patterns, it is advisable to wear light and breathable clothing during the day, carry umbrellas, and be prepared for the wet conditions caused by frequent rain.
