HUMID WEATHER CONDITIONS

Gurgaon records 17 dengue cases in 6 weeks, 5 areas emerge as hotspots

​Experts said the season - typically warm and muggy weather that is favourable for breeding of Aedes mosquito, which spreads the dengue virus - is far from over. Residents with flu-like symptoms should consult doctors instead of self-medicating, and others should take preventive measures such as wearing full-sleeved clothing and using mosquito repellents, they said.
