As of October 7, 2025, New Delhi is facing a cloudy and rainy start to the week, with moderate pollution levels lingering due to the damp conditions. The city's air quality index (AQI) currently stands at 100, which is in the moderate range. Temperatures are expected to hover between 21.5°C and 31.6°C, with a significant amount of rainfall, around 19.97mm, anticipated throughout the day.
The weather forecast for the week ahead suggests a similar rainy pattern on Tuesday, October 8. However, the conditions are expected to improve significantly by Wednesday, October 9, with clear skies and warmer, drier weather. Daytime temperatures are predicted to reach up to 31.4°C, and the remainder of the week is expected to stay dry, with temperatures ranging from 31-33°C during the day and 22-23°C at night.
The current weather conditions have prompted authorities to advise residents to wear masks, particularly in high-traffic areas, to mitigate the effects of the moderate pollution levels. The damp weather is expected to slow the dispersion of pollutants, but the anticipated rainfall may help reduce particulate matter levels as the week progresses.
