Cold spell may end soon in Delhi with change in wind direction, says Met

The minimum temperature in parts of Delhi varied with 2.5 degrees Celsius being recorded at Ayanagar, 3.2 degrees Celsius at Palam and 3.6 degrees Celsius at Safdarjung.

There was slight relief for Delhi'ites on Sunday after reeling under the longest cold spell of the last 22 years due to a change in wind direction, the Met department said, “As expected, change in wind direction from north-westerly to easterly has started and reduction in cold day and cold wave started from today (Sunday). This is reflected in maximum and minimum temperature.” The frigid temperatures, high humidity and low wind speed allowed accumulation of pollutants leading further deterioration in the national capital's air quality on Sunday. The overall air quality index stood at 437 at 4 pm.
