Delhi Weather LATEST Update: Icy Winds To Intensify In NCR; Cold Wave Ahead

Weather officials indicated that Delhi-NCR is entering a stronger winter phase, with a rapid dip in night temperatures expected over the next one to two days. Experts noted that the coming nights may feel extremely cold as cold winds strengthen.

Over the past 24 hours, Delhi recorded a drop of 2 to 3 degrees in minimum temperatures, while daytime temperatures stayed nearly unchanged at around 24 to 26 degrees Celsius. Minimum temperatures ranged widely across different zones, from normal to significantly below normal levels. Morning skies remained clear, and northwesterly winds blew at speeds of 10 to 15 kmph.

Delhi is likely to see clear skies on December 4, with light morning fog and the possibility of cold-wave conditions in isolated areas. The maximum temperature may settle between 22 and 24 degrees Celsius and the minimum between 5 and 7 degrees. Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, Faridabad and Greater Noida are expected to experience similar cold conditions, with slight variations in night temperatures.

Forecasts suggest that December 5 may bring partly cloudy skies with shallow fog in the morning and persistent cold winds through the day. Minimum temperatures may fall further to 4 to 6 degrees Celsius. Weather specialists stated that no major cyclonic systems are likely to form over the Arabian Sea or Bay of Bengal in the next two weeks, while an incoming western disturbance could trigger snowfall over higher Himalayan regions. As a result, cold northerly winds may intensify winter conditions across northern, central and eastern India.
