Delhi's Coldest November in 5 Years Hits!
30 Nov
Summary
- Delhi experienced its coldest November in five years, with average minimum temperatures at 11.5°C.
- The city's air quality remained in the 'very poor' category despite colder weather.
- A cyclonic storm in the Bay of Bengal is suppressing wind flow over North India.
Delhi has just experienced its coldest November in five years, as the average minimum temperature reached 11.5°C by November 29. This marks a significant drop compared to recent years, with the last cooler November occurring in 2020 when the average minimum was 10.3°C.
Despite the colder weather, Delhi's air quality continues to be a major concern, consistently ranking in the 'very poor' category. Higher nighttime humidity and falling temperatures have aided the formation of secondary pollutants, preventing any significant improvement in air quality even with clearer skies.
Forecasting shows minimum temperatures are likely to fall further to around 9-10°C in the coming days, with potential for shallow morning fog. Meanwhile, cyclonic storm Ditwah over the Bay of Bengal is influencing regional weather by suppressing wind flow over North India, contributing to persistent stagnant air conditions in the Delhi-NCR region.
