=== Climate === <!-- The section should provide data only from the New Delhi area under NDMC. Not of the entire NCT. --> {{See also|Climate of Delhi}} The climate of New Delhi is a dry-winter [[humid subtropical climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Cwa'') bordering on a [[hot semi-arid climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''BSh'') with high variation between summer and winter in terms of both temperature and rainfall. The temperature varies from {{convert|46|°C}} in summers to around {{convert|10|°C}} in winters. The area's version of a humid subtropical climate is noticeably different from many other cities with this climate classification in that it features long and extremely hot summers with [[dust storm]]s, relatively dry and mild winters with [[wildfire]] [[haze]], and a [[monsoon]]al period. Summers are long, extending from early April to October, with the monsoon season occurring in the middle of the summer. Winter starts in November and peaks in January. Winters are very mild. The annual mean temperature is around {{convert|25|°C}}; monthly daily mean temperatures range from approximately {{convert|13|to|34|°C|°F|0}}. New Delhi's highest temperature ever recorded is {{convert|49.9|°C}} on 28 May 2024 at [[India Meteorological Department|Met]] Delhi Mungeshpur while the lowest temperature ever recorded is {{convert|-2.2|°C}} on 11 January 1967 at Indira Gandhi International Airport (formerly known as [[Palam Airport]]).<ref name="IMD2">{{Cite web |title=Ever recorded Maximum and minimum temperatures up
