Hindustan Times
|December 31, 2024
"Cold day" to "severe cold day" conditions were reported across the city on Monday as icy northwesterly winds continued to blow through the region, keeping the maximum temperature well below normal and the skies overcast, grey and dreary.
The weather station at Safdarjung, considered representative of Delhi's weather, recorded a maximum of 15°C - more than five degrees below normal. The lowest maximum across the city was 12.8°C, recorded at the Pusa station in west Delhi.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast similar weather conditions in Delhi-NCR on New Year's Eve, issuing a yellow alert for possible cold day conditions in isolated pockets on Tuesday too.
IMD classifies it as a "cold day" when the maximum temperature is 4.5°C or more below normal, with minimum also below 10°C. It is a "severe cold day" when the maximum is 6.5°C or more below normal, with the minimum also being below 10°C.
