Delhi Heatwave: Temperatures Hit 43C Amid Extreme Summer Heat

Delhi is experiencing a period of extreme summer heat, with daytime temperatures consistently reaching 43°C.

The sustained high temperatures are creating severe conditions across the city, particularly for its most vulnerable residents.

Among those most affected are homeless families living under the city’s flyovers, who have limited means to escape the heat or access cooling shelters.

The environmental stress is further intensified by high minimum temperatures, which prevent significant cooling during the night and leave residents with little relief from the daytime peaks.

These conditions highlight the challenges faced by the urban poor in the Indian capital as they attempt to endure the seasonal extreme heat without permanent housing or climate-controlled environments.
