Delhi has a
semi-arid climate with high variation between summer and
winter temperatures. Due to Delhi's proximity to the
Himalayas, cold waves from the Himalayan region dip
temperatures across Delhi. Summers are long, from early April
till October, with the monsoon season in between. Extreme
temperatures have ranged from −0.6 °C (10 January 1935)[6] to
47 °C.[7] Winter starts in November and peaks in January.
Delhi is notorious for its heavy fog during the winter season.
In December, visibility is to reduced to near zero disrupting
road, air and rail traffic in the city.[8]. During the summer
season, the city faces extreme power and water shortage when
the demand for these utilities is at its peak. Every year, the
heat wave in summer claims several lives in Delhi. The city,
however, has a pleasant climate from February to April and
from August to November.[9]
The average annual rainfall is approximately 670 mm (27
inches), most of which falls during the Monsoons, in July and
August. Traditionally, the Monsoons are supposed to touch
Delhi by June 29 every year.
