Monsoon in Delhi = Moisture Overload
The monsoon months in Delhi bring a temporary relief from the heat, but humidity levels surge dramatically, making it one of the toughest times for your skin. Whether you’re dealing with oily shine, stubborn breakouts, or dull texture—humidity could be the main culprit.
Last Year’s Reality: Delhi Weather 2024 Breakdown
| Month | Avg. Temperature | Avg. Humidity | Rainfall (mm) | Rainy Days |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| June | 34.1°C | 68% | 74 mm | 6 days |
| July | 32.4°C | 82% | 228 mm | 13 days |
| August | 31.2°C | 88% | 248 mm | 15 days |
What This Means for Your Skin
Humidity affects your skin in more ways than one:
➕ More Oil Production → Greasier skin
➕ Trapped Sweat + Pollution → Clogged pores & breakouts
➖ Uneven Texture → Dull, sticky skin
➖ Makeup Slide-Off → Can’t hold on in this weather
