While no rain is expected for Wednesday ~ the day the Delhi government plans to attempt cloud seeding in northwest Delhi - the city is still likely to see cloudy skies, officials said.

IMD said the western disturbance will bring moist easterly winds back and will also increase the nighttime temperature by two to three notches by Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Delhi recorded a minimum temperature of 15.8 degrees Celsius (°C) on Sunday ~ the lowest so far this season. This was also the lowest minimum for Delhi in two years for the month of October, after October 28, 2023 recorded 14.3°C, data showed.

The maximum temperature, meanwhile, stood at 32°C, which was around normal for this time of the year. It is expected to dip by 2-3°C by Tuesday, due to possible rain and overcast skies.
