Delhiites likely to get relief from smog tomorrow: MeT dept

Delhiites could witness clear skies from tomorrow afternoon onwards and a drop in night temperature as a western disturbance, which brought light rains today, continues to move eastwards, MeT department said.
"Clouds will clear up from tomorrow afternoon onwards with the moving of the western disturbance eastwards," officials of the department said, but forecast foggy conditions from November 9.
The forecast comes as a blanket of smog and foggy conditions continued to cover the city for the last three days, reducing visibility.
The thick smog was because of a reduction in the mixing height for the dispersion of pollutants due to lowering of the temperature, the Central Pollution Control Board had yesterday said.

While the western disturbance brought rains giving respite from the smog, cloud cover was witnessed for most of the day.
However, with clear skies forecast from tomorrow onwards, there would be a fall of minimum temperature by 2-4 degrees over many parts of north west India and some parts of adjoining central and west India on November 9 and 10, the MeT department said.
During the last 24 hours, the city has experienced a maximum temperature of 27.5 degrees Celsius while the minimum settled at 14 deg.
The maximum is expected to oscillate between 24-25 degrees between November 9 to 11.
