Despite this, residents are currently experiencing some relief from extreme heat and poor air quality. The local weather report indicates that on August 13, the maximum temperature is expected to reach 34 degrees Celsius, with a minimum of 25 degrees Celsius.
Throughout this period, clouds are expected to cover the sky, with possibilities of light rain or drizzles. Humidity levels are projected to hover around 90 to 85 percent. Notably, no weather warnings have been issued for this day. On August 14, the maximum temperature is forecasted to be 33 degrees Celsius, with a minimum of 25 degrees Celsius.
The Meteorological Department predicts continued cloud cover and light rain, suggesting that temperatures will remain relatively controlled, although humidity may feel more pronounced. Similar weather conditions are expected on August 15, with maximum temperatures around 33 degrees and minimums at 24 degrees Celsius, accompanied by cloud cover and light rain.

From August 13 to 18, maximum temperatures are expected to range between 33 and 34 degrees Celsius, while minimum temperatures will be between 23 and 25 degrees. Recent rains have significantly improved air quality in Delhi-NCR, but as rainfall activities decrease, the AQI is trending from green to yellow in several areas.
Monitoring stations across Delhi are reflecting this trend. According to available data, the AQI in Alipur is 104, Anand Vihar 262, Ashok Vihar 114, Aya Nagar 85, Bawana 202, Burari Crossing 79, Cantonment Area 85, Chandni Chowk 120, and Commonwealth Sports Complex 84. In Noida, monitoring data shows Sector 125 with an AQI of 154, Sector 62 at 90, Sector 1 at 105, and Sector 116 at 127, indicating that Sector 125 has the highest AQI at 154, while Sector 62 is at 90.
In Ghaziabad, the AQI readings from five active stations show Indirapuram at 124, Loni at 128, Sanjay Nagar at 102, Vasundhara at 99, and Ved Vihar-Loni at 114. Here, Vasundhara recorded an AQI of 99, while Sanjay Nagar was at 102, and Loni reached 128. The current weather forecast offers significant relief regarding temperature.
For the next several days, maximum temperatures are expected to remain around 33-34 degrees, while minimum temperatures may range between 23-25 degrees. Continuous cloud cover and light rain are likely to reduce the chances of intense sunlight and heatwave conditions. However, humidity levels reaching 85 to 95 percent may lead to sticky heat and discomfort for residents.
