For light showers, an umbrella or a thin and light rain cape is usually sufficient, while more rain may require rainwear and rain boots.
Long, hot days bring risks - weather like this is one of the most challenging things we can do to our bodies. It's best to avoid going to India when it's so hot. Secondly, keep cool by staying in the shade, the pool or in an air-conditioned room. Pack clothes for the sun, for swimming but also for hydration.
Light winds are probably most comfortable in hot weather but is cooling in cool and cold weather. If it is hot (when the air temperature is about 30 degrees), the wind can have a warming effect. A thin, windproof jacket and long trousers help to counteract these effects.
High humidity means that the air conducts heat to and from the skin more easily. For example, if the air is hot (above skin temperature), it will be harder to stay cool.

However, your physical activity plays a bigger role.
