Delhi is currently under cloudy skies with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting two spells of rain through Sunday. This activity is influenced by a western disturbance affecting northwest India. The city recorded a minimum temperature of 6.7°C on Saturday, a degree below normal, with expectations of a sharp rise to 10-12°C on Sunday and 11-13°C on Monday, before falling again by Thursday.
The maximum temperature on Saturday was 21.5°C, and it is anticipated to decrease to between 17°C and 19°C on Sunday. A "yellow alert" issued for Saturday was withdrawn as rainfall was minimal. Shallow to moderate fog is also expected to persist in the mornings through early next week.
Looking ahead, the Air Quality Early Warning System for Delhi (AQEWS) predicts air quality will remain in the 'very poor' category from Sunday through Thursday, with potential fluctuations between 'very poor' and 'poor' in the subsequent six days.
