Climate of Delhi is semi-arid with high variation between summer and winter temperatures. Summers are long, from early April to October, with the monsoon season in between. During the summer season, the city faces extreme power and water shortages.[1] Many people die every year owing to the summer heat wave.[1] Winter starts in November and peaks in January. Due to Delhi's proximity to the Himalayas, cold waves from the Himalayan region dip temperatures across the city. Delhi is notorious for its heavy fog during the winter season. In December, reduced visibility leads to disruption of road, air and rail traffic.[2] The city has a pleasant climate from February to April, and from August to November.
