Current Delhi temperature and what to expect today

Wondering how hot it is right now in Delhi? You’re not alone. Residents and visitors alike check the temperature as soon as they step out of the house. In this guide we’ll give you the real‑time Delhi temperature, a quick look at the next 24‑hour forecast, and a few simple ideas to stay comfortable.

Live temperature and short‑term outlook

At the time of writing, the temperature in central Delhi sits around 38°C (100°F) with a humidity level near 45%. The sun is strong, so UV index is high – remember sunscreen if you’re out for more than a few minutes. Over the next six hours, the mercury is expected to climb by 1‑2 degrees before it starts to dip after sunset.

Tonight the temperature should fall to about 28°C, which feels much cooler once the breeze picks up. Early morning tomorrow, you can expect a low of 24°C and a high near 36°C. That means another warm day, but not the peak summer scorch that hit the city last week.

Practical tips for coping with Delhi heat

1. Stay hydrated. Carry a reusable bottle and sip water every 15‑20 minutes, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Small sips beat gulping a large glass all at once.

2. Dress smart. Light, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen let sweat evaporate. Dark colors absorb heat, so opt for whites, pastels or light greys.

3. Plan outdoor activities wisely. If you can, schedule walks, errands or workouts for early morning (6‑8 am) or later evening (after 7 pm) when temperatures are lower.

4. Use shade and fans. When indoors, keep curtains closed during the hottest hours and run fans or air‑conditioners on a moderate setting. A bowl of ice water in front of a fan creates a quick cooling mist.

5. Watch the air quality. Delhi’s heat often mixes with smog. Check the AQI on a reliable app and limit strenuous activity if levels are high.

By keeping an eye on the live Delhi temperature and following these easy tips, you can move through the day without feeling drained. The city’s heat can be intense, but a little preparation goes a long way.
