After experiencing bitter cold over the last few days, the Capital is all set to have some respite in the coming days. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD) officials, the city will go back to “normal” weather conditions, starting Thursday.
“Both maximum and minimum temperatures are likely to rise by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius in the next four to five days. The day temperature is expected to settle between 19 and 20 degrees Celsius while the minimum temperature is set to rise to 7 to 8 degrees Celsius,” said R Vishen, Scientist-In-Charge, Regional Meteorology Centre (RMC), IMD.
On Tuesday, the maximum temperature was recorded at 15.6 degrees Celsius while the minimum temperature settled at 4.6 degrees Celsius. In both instances, the temperature was three degrees below normal.
“The reason behind the rise in temperature is the coming of another Western Disturbance over north-western India. It will bring back normal winds,” Vishen said. The days will remain sunny but shallow to moderate fog is likely to occur across the National Capital Region (NCR), with heavy fog in isolated parts of the city.
The conditions will be similar in regions including Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana and north Rajasthan. Also, over the weekend, parts of Punjab and Haryana are likely to receive light spells of rain, which may touch the Capital as well.
Owing to these conditions, the cold westerly and northwesterly winds will not be able to reach the northern plains, resulting in an increase in temperature.
On Saturday, Delhi recorded the lowest minimum temperature of the season at 3.2 degrees Celsius, which was four degrees below the season’ average for Delhi-NCR.
