New Delhi's climate is difficult to plan for due to the city's complex nature, which makes it difficult to predict weather patterns. The city has summers that are dry and scorching with temperatures that may reach 45 degrees Celsius, winters that can dip below 3 degrees Celsius, and a season in between that is both hot and humid. The city of Delhi has a long history that has not been broken up by any significant events; hence, each stage of the city's development may be found preserved as a record that is still accessible now. These phases include the times of the Middle Ages, the Colonial Era, and the ModernDay Metropolis of New Delhi. There has been a particular pattern of urban expansion that can be linked to each period in the city's historical past. This pattern has been related to the city's growth. It is important to note that although the climate has always been a significant and consistent factor, the combination of cultural, socioeconomic, and technical advancements has led to the adoption of a wide variety of different types of urban construction.
