Delhi Weather Update: Heavy Rain and Strong Winds Forecast
Delhi Weather Updates: Cold wave intensifies with heavy rainfall in the national capital.
As of 7:23 AM on December 27, 2024, the temperature in Delhi stood at a chilly 13 degrees Celsius. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast heavy rain and strong winds for both today and tomorrow, December 28.
Current Weather Conditions
Delhi has been experiencing heavy rainfall and occasional lightning due to the intensifying cold wave. Areas surrounding the national capital have also reported similar conditions.
The IMD warns of thunderstorms, hailstorms, and moderate rainfall across northwestern and central India over the next two days, attributed to an active western disturbance.
Temperature Projections
Temperatures are expected to reach a maximum of 20 degrees Celsius and a minimum of 12 degrees Celsius on Friday. Continuous rain is anticipated, along with intensified fog, similar to the conditions in Noida where some early morning drizzle has been observed.
Air Quality Concerns
Despite slight improvement on Thursday, the air quality index (AQI) in Delhi remains classified as “very poor” for Friday. The Central Pollution Control Board advises that measures under Stages I, II, and III of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) will remain in effect.
On Tuesday, the Central Government’s air quality monitoring panel had revoked Stage IV measures, following an improvement in air quality.
IMD’s Cold Wave Warning
The IMD has issued warnings for hailstorms in several northern states including Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh on Friday. Similar conditions are expected in Madhya Pradesh over the next two days.
Temperatures are predicted to drop by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius in northern states, with heavy snowfall possible in the western Himalayan region on both December 27 and 28.
