Delhi has spent three consecutive nights above 30°C, its days climbing toward 44°C — a city caught in the grip of a heat that refuses to observe the ordinary rhythms of season or relief. The Indian capital, like so many urban centers built for a climate that is quietly shifting, finds itself waiting on the mercy of a western disturbance expected to arrive June 15 and carry thundershowers through June 20.

Households face increased electricity costs for cooling, health risks from heat stress, potential water shortages, and disrupted transportation. Lower-income groups disproportionately affected. Expected rains may temporarily reduce cooling demand but disrupt outdoor activities and commerce.
