Heat waves in Delhi....








Uh!! its really really hot out here with the temperature soaring to a maximum high of  42°C









The city's climate becomes very hot during the month of May and June which is followed by monsoons happening somewhere after September. 
Come Summer and you are already looking for things such as Sadi Dilli Ka Banta or the unsophisticated yet tasty lemon soda , Chuski which is  the common man's ice cream and none the less , the famous Gol Gappas . Perhaps Delhi without these yummy and tasty things would be bland.





In Delhi the temperature plays a major role in deciding the mood and nature of a person. During the summers the men are like boiling hot on the busy roads and often you can find them quarrelling for some or the other stupid reasons. They are unable to control their anger during the times of rush. You can see similar behaviour of the women folk as well. Moreover the scooter riding ladies  are seen completely covered from top to bottom, trying their level best to avoid the scorching heat. Even the animals can be seen hiding in shades wherever they can find. School going kids have a tough time as they come back at an hour when the sun is really really hot. Thats the time when you think of the Winters. 





As in comparison to summer, winters are short yet pleasant .






Winter Season starts from the end of November and continues till February-March. The cold waves from the Himalayan region makes the winters in New Delhi very chilly. Temperatures fall substantially down to as low as 3 to 4º C at the peak of winter. Winters in Delhi get really chilly with bonfires all round the streets of Delhi to beat the cold waves. Of course you face problems of fog and smog during winters. In January, a dense fog envelopes the city, reducing visibility on the streets. Usually though, winter days are pleasant with bright sunlight in afternoons only. 
Monsoons in Delhi are almost nil only that you can find some occasional showers which are meant not to quench the thirst but to rise the levels of Humidity.

But none the less , this city has a charm of its own. Be it scorching summers , chilly winters or negligible monsoons , the people in this city know how to find the alternatives and thus remain chilled out throughout.......

I'm saying this because i'm a pucca Delhiite.....
