|November 16, 2024
The chill in Delhi continued to pick up pace, as the Capital recorded its coldest day of winter for the second day in a row clocking a minimum temperature of 15.6 degrees Celsius (°C) on Friday. Forecasts by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted the minimum temperature to drop to 14°C by Tuesday and 13°C by Wednesday in the next week.

However, the minimum temperature was still two degrees above the normal for this time of the year. According to IMD data, the minimum temperature has remained above the normal temperature since October 17.
Moderate fog was seen across the city, with the Palam observatory reporting a minimum visibility of 500 metres at 6.30am. It was 400 metres at Safdarjung at 7am. The lowest visibility in the city was 300 metres on Thursday and zero on Wednesday.
The smog over the past two days also kicked off, for the first time this season, the cyclical phenomenon known as "inversion" where pollutants get trapped close to the surface due to low temperature.
