The first half of November has remained quite warm for Delhi this season. The minimum temperature has steadily crossed 15°C throughout, except on 11 Nov, when it stopped short at 14.8°C. The mercury is unlikely to dip below 15°C until mid-week next. Earlier, in 2011, 2015, 2018 and 2019, the lowest temperature had remained in double digits during the entire month. The lowest minimum temperature since 2011 was 6.3°C, measured on 23 Nov 2020.

A western disturbance is moving across the northern mountains. There has been fresh snowfall and rain over the entire Kashmir region. Light rainfall spilled over to Himachal Pradesh as well. Weather activity is likely to vacate Jammu & Kashmir by tomorrow and move to Himachal and Uttarakhand for the subsequent two days. A broad clearance over the complete region is expected on 16 Nov and later.

The mercury is likely to dip below 15°C next week. However, the double-digit minimum will stay for the entire next week. The lowest temperature may drop to about 13°C. No fresh western disturbance is likely during next week and, therefore, no rise in temperature is expected. Sky conditions may become cloudy today in the late afternoon, evening and night. Scattered and thin clouds will persist even tomorrow. Rain in the peripheries of Delhi will cover parts of Haryana and Rajasthan on 15 Nov. Delhi will be a little far from the main activity. At best, there could be a light sprinkle in some areas during the second half of the day. Fair weather conditions are expected during the next week.
