Meteorologists believe that due to the increasing influence of La Nina in the eastern and central Pacific Ocean at present time, the winter and the Northeast Monsoon of India are being affected. In such a situation, there is a high doubt whether Delhi will receive the average rainfall for the month of November or not. Although it is not raining, the temperature continues to fall for Delhi.
