Delhi Winters finally arrive as minimum drops to 9 degrees

The month of November is almost coming to an end and Delhiites have been waiting for the weather to get all wintry and dreamy as it always starts to become during this time of the year.

Well, looking at the minimum temperatures, it seems like the much awaited Dilli ki Sardi is here and it is here to stay. Today, Delhi witnessed significant drop in minimums with the minimum at Palam dropping to 10.1 degrees from 14.5 degrees. Not only this, Safdarjung observatory saw its minimum at 9.4 degrees which had settled at 14.6 degrees.

These weather conditions can be attributed to the continuation of cold winds from northwest direction. Moreover, the skies have become clear and intensity of pollution has also reduced. These factors have helped in the increase of outgoing longwave radiation.

Thus, rapid cooling of earth’s surface has taken place. Wind speed was between 15 to 20 km yesterday during the afternoon hours which continued even during the night time with slight decrease in speed. Thus, despite the fall in temperatures, fog did not make a comeback.

Even now, moderate winds are expected to continue for another two to three days. Sky will also remain clear. Thus, both day and night temperatures will fall further. Pollution will remain on the lower side.

Thus, it is safe to say that Delhi Winters are finally here, and Delhiites can rejoice. While it may be a little too early to start taking out your favourite boots, those colorful scarfs can surely be teamed up with your favourite sweater.
