During these hot days, the level of humidity is likely to remain moderate, which is why people will not suffer from heat strokes. In the past, the deadly heatwave caused the suspension of sea winds, raising the level of humidity in the air to an unexpected high up to 65%, which contributed to its intensity. The Met department said that nearly 64, 43.3°C was the highest recorded temperature in the month of October.
