4.3  Climatic Analysis

                     Delhi experiences a composite climate characterized by distinct seasons: hot

                     and  dry  summers, mild  winters, and  short  monsoon  periods.  Temperatures

                     soar to 45°C (113°F) in May and June, with low humidity. High sun angles
                     lead to significant heat gain through building facades. Frequent dust storms

                     further  reduce  air  quality  and  increase  discomfort.  During  Winter  limited

                     solar  radiation  requires  passive  heating  strategies.  Increased  use  of  fossil
                     fuels for heating worsens air quality.
