Delhi has continued to experience unusually warm weather in the opening days of October, with maximum temperatures remaining above 36°C over the past two days.
The weather is expected to change on Tuesday, October 6, as clouds are likely to cover the city and light rain may occur in some areas. The showers could bring down the maximum temperature by around 2–3°C, providing some relief from the ongoing heat.
Delhi recorded strong sunshine on Sunday, pushing the maximum temperature at Safdarjung to 36.4°C. This was 2.2°C above normal. The minimum temperature was 24.1°C, around 1.8°C higher than the seasonal average.
The heat was even more noticeable in nearby areas, with Aya Nagar recording a maximum of 37°C and Faridabad reaching 37.1°C.
While Tuesday’s rain could temporarily improve weather conditions, Delhi’s worsening air quality remains a concern, particularly with pollution levels expected to rise further over the coming days.
