Delhi Chills: Coolest October Morning in 3 Years!
27 Oct
Summary
- Delhi recorded its coolest October morning in three years at 15.3 degrees Celsius.
- Gurgaon experienced Haryana's lowest minimum temperature at 12 degrees Celsius.
- A cyclone and western disturbance are predicted to bring rain and warmer temperatures.
New Delhi saw its minimum temperature plummet to 15.3 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, marking the coolest October morning in three years. This drop is attributed to prevailing north-westerly winds carrying cool air from the western Himalayan region. Gurgaon, Haryana, registered the state's lowest minimum temperature this season at 12 degrees Celsius, with expectations of thunderstorms and hail over the coming four days.
The weather pattern is set to shift. Following the landfall of very severe cyclonic storm 'Arnab' midday Wednesday, easterly winds are anticipated, likely causing minimum temperatures to rise. A western disturbance is also expected to affect the region Wednesday night, bringing light to moderate rain on Thursday and Friday. The impact of the cyclone is projected to be most severe in eastern Uttar Pradesh, with heavy rainfall predicted.
Minimum temperatures in Delhi are forecast to range between 15-17 degrees Celsius on Wednesday and 16-18 degrees Celsius on Thursday, potentially reaching nearly 20 degrees Celsius by Saturday. A further dip to around 15 degrees Celsius is possible by November 2, after the western disturbance influence wanes. Delhi's air quality, currently 'moderate' with an AQI of 174, is expected to degrade to 'poor' on Wednesday before returning to 'moderate' on Thursday and Friday.
