Delhi experienced significant temperature fluctuations in January 2025, with both maximum and minimum temperatures reaching remarkable highs. On January 19, the maximum temperature recorded was 26.1°C, which is 6.5°C above the normal for this time of year. This rise marks a notable contrast to the coldest maximum of the month, which was just 15°C on January 1. Over the course of only 48 hours, the temperature surged by 8°C, a dramatic shift attributed to clear skies, bright sunshine, and dry winds coming from the northwest.

Historically, January in Delhi has seen its highest recorded maximum temperature of 32.5°C, observed on January 28, 2004. However, the mean maximum temperature for the month is typically around 20.5°C, with a mean minimum temperature of 7.6°C. In 2025, the minimum temperature reached 11.4°C, also the highest for the month, further illustrating the unusual warmth this year.

Delhi also experienced significant variability in temperatures throughout the month. The minimum temperature plummeted to 4.8°C on January 9, only to rise sharply later. This variation is a reminder of the dynamic weather patterns typical of the region.

Looking ahead, the city can expect light rain on January 22 and 23, which is likely to cause a dip in the maximum temperatures. After the passage of a western disturbance, the minimum temperatures across northwest India, including Delhi, may drop after January 24, but a significant fall is not expected. Cold wave conditions, which often affect the region during winter, appear to be unlikely for the remainder of the month.
