Delhi is experiencing an increase in temperature. The base station at Safdarjung recorded a minimum temperature of 13.2°C this morning. This is the highest minimum temperature of this year so far. The earlier highest was 12°C, recorded on 12 Feb 2025. In Dec 2024 also, the minimum temperature was 13°C on 29th Dec. Both the minimum and maximum temperatures are likely to drop during this week.
A western disturbance is marked over North Pakistan and Northeast Afghanistan as an upper air system. An induced cyclonic circulation is marked over West Rajasthan and the adjoining region. Both the systems will move eastward, in tandem, and influence weather conditions over mountains and plains of North India. All the hilly states of North India will have simultaneous activity. The plains of Punjab, Haryana, North Rajasthan, and West Uttar Pradesh will have weather activity in a staggered manner.
Delhi will be on the outer periphery of these weather systems. Yet, the capital city will be within reach to have sporadic showers, mostly patchy in nature, on 19th Feb 22025. The weather activity will start late in the night on Wednesday or possibly in the wee hours and pick up the next day. The intensity and spread of rainfall will be more on 20th Feb and will also last for a longer duration. Morning, forenoon, and afternoon hours will remain more susceptible. The weather activity is expected to recede in the night and next day morning.
With the approach of the western disturbance, the day temperature had risen yesterday to 29°C, the second highest of this year, so far. The highest temperature was 29.7°C, recorded on 11 Feb 2025. The maximum temperature is likely to dip to about 25°C on 20th Feb and gradually rise, thereafter. After the passage of the system, the minimum temperatures are also likely to drop.
