Delhi Weather in August

Delhi weather in August is humid and rainy and it could be the rainiest month of the year, as the rainy season gets into full swing. The precipitation climbs to around 233 mm and nearly half of the month are rainy days. The abundant rainfall also leads to the rather high humidity of 77%. The average temperature falls a little to 31℃ (88℉). It becomes slightly cool but most days are still dominated by sultry and sticky weather with temperature hovering between 27-35℃ (81-95℉).  

Due to the heavy rain, the streets in Delhi might be muddy and flooded in August, so it is suggested to arrange your itinerary properly and pay close attention to the local weather forecast.  

 

Prepare some airy and breathable summer outfits for your Delhi trip in August. Cotton and linen short sleeve shirts, light pants or shorts are all suitable. Of course, do not forget an umbrella or a rain jacket to prevent you from getting drenched by frequent downpours. Sandals and quick-drying clothes are also recommended.       

Recommendation Rate of Travel:

In the monsoon season in August, the drippy weather may disrupt your travel itinerary and annoy you a lot. But traveling to Delhi on rainy days could also be very romantic. Make sure to include those iconic structures and famous attractions such as the beautiful Humayun’s Tomb surrounded by graceful gardens; the ancient Qutub Minar featuring high brick tower; the spectacular India Gate commemorating brave soldiers; the vibrant Chandni Chowk full of quality goods and delicious snacks; the magnificent Jama Masjid; and the peaceful Lodhi Gardens. On rainy days, it’s enjoyable to have a great meal in a rooftop restaurant or just drink a cup of hot coffee while appreciating the bustling city views.
