Brace for colder days, minimum temperature may dip again in Delhi: IMD
Hindustan TimesThe Capital recorded yet another chilly and grey day, with the maximum temperature remaining below the normal on Sunday as icy-cold winds blew across the city. On Sunday, Delhi recorded a minimum temperature of 13°C, which was six degrees above the normal, up slightly from 12.7°C recorded a day earlier and two degrees up from 11°C recorded on Friday. IMD said the minimum temperature is likely to dip to 9°C by Monday and further to 7°C by Tuesday as cold wave conditions return to isolated parts of northwest India again. Weather experts said Delhi recorded higher-than-normal minimum temperatures over the past few days, largely due to cloudiness, which helps in trapping surface heat at night. AQI deteriorates, back to ‘poor’ Delhi’s air quality returned to the “poor” category on Sunday, with a 24-hour average air quality index of 225 recorded at 4pm.
