Gurgaon Freezes: Near Zero Temps Shock NCR

Gurgaon recorded its coldest night of the season on Sunday, January 12, 2026, with an automatic weather station registering a temperature of 0.6 degrees Celsius. While unusually low, this reading is not a record for the city. Officials suggest localized factors, such as the station's surroundings, may have influenced the reading, as open fields cool faster than urban areas. Micro-level variations are common, with other stations in the NCR recording higher temperatures the same night.

Meanwhile, Delhi experienced intense cold conditions, with minimum temperatures dipping to around 3 degrees Celsius on January 13, 2026, marking the coldest January day since 2023. The Safdarjung Observatory recorded 3.2 degrees Celsius. This widespread chill is attributed to a Western Disturbance that affected the Himalayan region on January 8 and 9, leading to snowfall and subsequent northwesterly winds transporting colder air from the mountains into the plains.
