Delhi in May

Traveling to Delhi in May is quite an adventure, but it’s definitely not for the faint-hearted when it comes to weather. The city is bustling and full of life, with its vibrant markets, historic sites, and rich culture on full display. You'll find the streets alive with the sounds, sights, and smells of street food vendors, rickshaws, and the constant buzz of city life. It's a great time to explore indoor attractions like museums and historical monuments or enjoy some traditional Indian cuisine in air-conditioned restaurants to escape the heat.

That said, May in Delhi can be pretty intense because it's the peak of the hot season, and the heat can be quite draining if you're not used to it. Midday outdoor activities might be tough, so plan to get out early in the morning or later in the evening when it’s cooler. Staying hydrated and wearing light, breathable clothing is key. Despite the heat, the city’s energy and cultural richness make it a fascinating place to visit if you're prepared for the conditions. Just keep in mind that some locals might be taking it easier or heading to hill stations to escape the heat, so the city can feel a bit quieter in some areas.
