Prolonged Dry Spell Likely Over Delhi: No Sharp Drop In Temperature
Delhi has been witnessing dry weather conditions since the withdrawal of the monsoon. The last rain was observed on 07 October 2025, and it has remained completely dry thereafter. This includes the event of artificial rain attempted during the end of October.
The month of November is the least rainy month, with an average rainfall of 4.1 mm. Rains are mostly triggered by active western disturbances moving across the mountains.
As per past records, November has invariably missed rains due to the absence of any effective weather system. The year 2023 was an exception when the capital received double-digit monthly rainfall of 17.7 mm. Last year, the month remained completely dry. Since 2011, the month of November has recorded nil rainfall on seven occasions and limited single-digit rainfall in the remaining years. Rainfall is unlikely over the city and suburbs, and the dry spell will get extended.
There is no active western disturbance in the offing that could change the pattern. A feeble western disturbance, as a very weak circulation in the higher levels moving across Kashmir and Ladakh, is not likely to be consequential for any weather activity. After the passage of the system, the temperature may dip slightly. As such, the minimum temperature will drop marginally over the next few days, mainly due to seasonal progression. With absolutely minimal chances of fresh snowfall in the hills or rains in the northern plains, no sharp plunge in mercury is likely over the capital city and suburbs. The minimum temperature has been steady at about 10°C for the last five days. At best, it could come down to 9°C over the next week. No major drop is expected in the month of November. Cold wave conditions are highly unlikely. Chances of even light rain are minimal during the remainder of the month.
