Frigid morning again in city as minimum settles at 5.5°C
Hindustan Times
|December 17, 2023
Icy, northwesterly winds swept through Delhi early on Saturday as the city recorded a minimum temperature of 5.5 degrees Celsius (°C) — three notches below the normal for this time of the year, though slightly above the 4.9°C on Friday, which was the coldest day of the winter season so far.
-
India Meteorological Department (IMD) officials said the absence of a western disturbance has led to northwesterly winds impacting the National Capital Region (NCR) which, while making nights colder than usual, are also keeping the days sunny and comfortable.
The meteorological department has also forecast that wind speeds are likely to increase, from the 8kmph on Saturday to 15kmph on Sunday, which should help reduce pollution.
The city logged a maximum of 24.7°C — two degrees above normal, and the Met forecast more of the same ahead, with the minimum temperature predicted to fluctuate between 5°C and 7°C over the next week, while the maximum will hover around the 23-25 degree mark.

'WE SHOULD STOP USING THE TERM PAN-INDIA ACTOR'
Priya Mani Raj, who is set for the release of The Family Man Season 3 next month, has worked in both regional and Hindi industries, but is averse to the tag of “pan-India actor”. Expressing her disapproval, she says, “We're all Indian at the end of the day. You get work in other industries, and that's a good thing, but you don't call someone a ‘regional actor’ when they come from Bollywood to the South. For years, actors from both sides have worked across languages. Why are we suddenly labeling them now? Accept us for who we are and for the characters we play.”
