This January has been particularly unusual for Delhi, with a combination of unexpectedly high temperatures, dense fog, and deteriorating air quality. These conditions have impacted daily life, including travel, due to poor visibility. 

 

 

IMD’s weather forecast

The IMD has forecast that cold winds and foggy conditions may continue due to the influence of a fresh western disturbance. Temperatures in the capital are expected to fluctuate between 9 degrees Celsius and 25 degrees Celsius over the next few days. This shift is expected to bring some relief from the unusually warm temperatures recorded in January.

 

Additionally, the IMD has predicted that the Western Himalayan region may experience rainfall between February 8 and February 11. This system could potentially influence Delhi's weather as well, leading to a further drop in temperatures. 

 

Air quality remains 'moderate'

Delhi's air quality remained in the 'moderate' category for the third consecutive day on Saturday, as residents shivered due to the cold winds. The Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded at 143 at 8 a.m. on February 8, according to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
