Therefore minimums in the plains are likely to show an upward trend in the coming days. In fact the night temperatures have already started to rise and are recording in double digits at many places.
The national capital Delhi is already seeing the weather warming with the Safdarjung Observatory recording 8.7°C as the minimum temperature on Thursday morning. The day temperature settled at 24°C on Wednesday, which is a degree more than the monthly average. The average temperatures have themselves risen in the month of February. For instance the average day temperature in Delhi in January is 20°C, while in February it rises to 23°C. The minimum too rises from 7°C in January to 10°C in February.
The adjoining state of Haryana is also recording an upward trend in both minimum and maximum temperatures. On Thursday morning the minimum temperature in Rohtak almost settled in double digits at 9.2°C. Some places in Punjab are also observing a rise in minimums. For instance the state capital Chandigarh also recorded 9.2°C as the minimum on Thursday morning.
And as we proceed in to the next week, the minimums are surely going to rise further and record in double digits at most of the places in the northwest plains. Though there could be a couple of weather systems affecting the region by the third or fourth week of the month, the temperatures will not show any significant drop.
