Winter showers are likely to continue through the day over Delhi/NCR. The city had earlier received moderate showers, after a long pause, on 22nd and 23rd January 2026. Both the base observatory and Palam airport observatory recorded 21 mm of rainfall each during the last spell. Today’s rainfall will be accounted for 28th January 2026. Rainfall amounts of 10–20 mm are expected over NCR.
A western disturbance is marked over the mountains, and a cyclonic circulation is positioned over West and Central Rajasthan. The cyclonic circulation will remain in close proximity to Delhi for the next 24 hours and will shift eastward over southwest Uttar Pradesh and adjoining areas tomorrow. Intermittent light to moderate rain and thundershowers are expected throughout today. The remnant of the system will bring light rain tomorrow morning as well. Clearance of weather activity is expected by tomorrow afternoon.
With persistent cloud cover and scattered showers through the day, the maximum temperature will drop today. However, cloud cover will restrict radiational cooling at night, leading to a rise in minimum temperatures tomorrow morning. With overnight rainfall, the chill factor will increase during the day tomorrow. Subsequent clearance of weather activity is likely to cause a dip in minimum temperatures on 29th and 30th January 2026.
The ‘Beating the Retreat’ ceremony on 29th January 2026 will remain safe, with no rain expected. However, cold conditions will prevail, especially around sunset when the event concludes. Another western disturbance is likely to arrive late on 30th January 2026. The month may end on a rainy note, with showers expected between 31st January and 2nd February 2026.
