The maximum temperature in Delhi today dropped to 14.6°C, the lowest in February till now. It could also be the second coldest day of the season. However, the cold day conditions in Delhi and other parts of northwest plains will not last long and a period of better day conditions with marginal rise in temperatures will make the weather in Delhi pleasant.
According to our forecast, after the clearance of the Western Disturbance over Jammu & Kashmir and the cyclonic circulation over North India during the next 24 to 48 hours, day temperature in Delhi may rise to settle around 19°C on Saturday after recording about 15°C on Friday. It may be in the range of 21°C for next three to four days and make conditions better.
Our meteorologists say that day temperatures would not rise as much as they had risen in the first week of February when the maximum temperature had settled around 27°C on 3rd February. However, they will stay close to normal.
Meteorologists explain that due to resumption of the cold northerly winds, day temperatures will not rise much. It is expected to rise in the next fours days when the winds will start warming to increase day temperatures across the northwest plains.
Meanwhile, due to cold northerly winds, minimums may witness sharp fall in the region during the next two days but they will again start rising once these winds warms up.
