Mercury dips to 5.1°C in Delhi

NEW DELHI: Winter is finally here. In a first for the season, both the maximum and minimum temperatures fell below normal on Friday. Light smog was recorded through the day, a result of high levels of humidity in the light of an approaching western disturbance.

Delhi's maximum temperature fell to 22.3 degrees Celsius, one degree below normal while the minimum was 5.1 degrees Celsius, three degrees below normal. Humidity levels touched a high of 91%. While Lodhi Road and Narela recorded the lowest night temperatures at 4.3 degrees and 4.8 degrees Celsius respectively in Delhi, Gurgaon saw the minimum plunge to a freezing 2.4 degrees Celsius.

"An active western disturbance that is over Pakistan at present will move over the western Himalayan region by Saturday and bring light rain and thundershowers to Delhi and neighbouring areas. Minimum temperatures will rise by 2-3 degrees Celsius over northwest and adjoining central India and maximum temperatures would fall by 3-4 degrees Celsius over the same area during the next two-three days. Fog is expected to occur at isolated places over Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim till Monday," said an official. The rain will be caused by an interaction of WD with an easterly wave, bringing rain and thundershowers at a few places of Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan till November 15 and decrease thereafter.

Met officials said it was likely to start becoming cloudy from Friday night. "Light rain and thundershowers are expected from the night of November 12 and continue till November 14. Meanwhile, light to moderate rain and snow are also expected at some places over Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand between the night of December 12 and December 15," said an official.
