Monsoon delays further, Delhi experiences humid Friday

Delhi is stuck in hot, sticky weather with temperatures around 39°C, but the usual monsoon rains haven't shown up yet.
Even though there have been some light showers and lots of humidity, the big relief hasn't arrived.
According to the IMD, a stubborn anticyclonic system high up in the atmosphere is blocking the monsoon from moving in.

TL;DR

More sweaty days without the rains

This delay means more sweaty days and restless nights for everyone in Delhi.
While air quality has stayed "satisfactory" for now, daily life feels tougher without the cooling rains.
The IMD has put out a yellow alert for Saturday—so there's hope that moderate rain and thunderstorms could finally bring some relief soon.
