Minimum temperature rises to 19.5°C, highest for Delhi in last 14 years
Weather stations in Delhi recorded an average minimum temperature of 19.5°C on Thursday, seven degrees above normal and the highest for the city in February in at least 14 years, data from the India Meteorological Department available since 2011 showed. Safdarjung, representative of Delhi’s weather, recorded a maximum of 32.4°C, six degrees above normal, also making it the hottest day in February in two years. We should see above normal minimum temperature till Friday,” senior IMD scientist RK Jenamani said, adding that these warmer easterly winds are also making the days warm, thus leading to a high maximum. Forecasts by the Centre’s Early Warning System for Delhi show the AQI should stay in the ‘poor’ range on Thursday too, but may improve to ‘moderate’ on Friday.
