Delhi Temperature Drop To Single Digit: No Cold Wave Likely
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Delhi temperatures dipped below 10°C again after a brief rise to double digits.
- No strong western disturbance is expected, limiting any major temperature drop.
- Single-digit minimums may continue for two days before rising to 11–12°C.
- Cold wave conditions remain unlikely, with misty and dry cold dominating.
Delhi temperatures, after staying in double digits for five days, have returned to under 10°C once again. Earlier, the capital had recorded temperatures below 10°C between 15th and 18th Nov 2025. The season’s lowest of 8.7°C was also recorded during that spell, on 17th Nov 2025. The mercury had climbed up to 12°C on 22 Nov 2025. Base station Safdarjung registered a low of 9.3°C this morning, about 2°C below normal. No further sharp drop is expected, and the temperature may rise again to double digits during the second half of the week.
There is no active western disturbance expected over the northern mountains this week. A westerly system in the upper air may move across beyond the geographical boundaries of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh between 27th and 30th Nov 2025. A weak dry circulation may also develop over the plains of North India around the same time. Under its influence, the wind pattern will change temporarily, triggering a slight rise in temperatures over the plains.
Delhi is expected to maintain single-digit temperatures for another two days before rising again to 11°–12°C toward the end of the month. Some light clouding may appear during this period, without any significant impact on weather conditions. The pentad normal minimum temperature for the last week of November (25th–30th) is around 10°C. As temperatures are not expected to plunge significantly, cold wave conditions are highly unlikely during November. Misty weather with predominantly dry cold will remain the hallmark for the national capital and its suburbs.
