The weather in Delhi has been extremely pleasant in the last few days with little or no rise in the minimum temperatures and mornings are no more icy cold. On Jan 28th the temperature in Delhi was recorded at 6.7⁰C and it remained the same on Jan 29th as well. Days have become extremely sunny and many are flocking to India Gate and Connaught place for that small picnic and ice cream with friends and family. Fog woes too are over as the shallow fog in Delhi is too less to disrupt any flights or railways or bother commuters on the road.
The maximum temperatures however are between 21⁰C to 23⁰C. Head of the forecasting team at Skymet Weather, Mahesh Palawat says, “This perfect weather, neither too cold, nor too hot in Delhi will continue for a couple of days and temperatures will be stable with marginal rise”. The maximum temperature is therefore expected to rise by one degree tomorrow on Jan 30th.
Though the system (western disturbance) has been weak this time and gave no rain over Delhi, forecasters say, “if not rain but cloudy or partly cloudy weather will definitely prevail over Delhi in the coming days and thundery build up could also be a slight possibility.”
Whereas northeast Jammu and Kashmir recorded light snow and the temperatures in the adjoining areas of north India namely, Punjab, Rajasthan and West Uttar Pradesh (Amritsar, Jaipur, Agra) recorded the mercury going up by a couple of notches. There has been no respite from the biting cold in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. The coldest in the plains of India was recorded at 2.6⁰C at Najibabad in U.P.
Down south, far away from the cool and pleasant temperatures of Delhi and north India, the highest temperatures of the country are continuously being recorded at Kerala (Punalur) at 36.8⁰C. Temperatures in this part of the country are not expected to change at all. Moreover dry weather, with no chances of rain will make people uneasy. Dry weather is expected for rest of the country as well.
