Wait 5 sec.

Delhi witnessed extreme weather this May, recording its hottest month in two years while simultaneously enjoying its cleanest air in five years. The city faced heatwaves and unusually warm nights. However, rainfall and strong winds helped disperse the pollutants and clear the air, leading to the best air quality for May in half a decade. No heatwaves are expected in early June.
