Minimum temperatures in Delhi have fallen below the usual seasonal range, signalling an early onset of winter, and meteorologists expect additional rain on Sunday.
The capital city recorded minimum temperatures that are lower than the typical range for this time of year, according to data cited by Livemint. This drop points to an early arrival of winter conditions in Delhi, where residents are accustomed to milder nights during the pre‑winter period.
Weather experts from the Indian Meteorological Department have indicated that the cooler trend is likely to continue, with a further dip in night‑time temperatures expected over the next few days. They also warned that the city could see more widespread rainfall on Sunday, as a weak western disturbance moves eastward across the region.
Authorities have advised commuters to stay prepared for wet roads and to carry appropriate clothing for the cooler evenings. The forecast aligns with broader seasonal patterns, but the early timing of the temperature fall has drawn attention from both the public and local businesses.
Livemint reported that the temperature anomaly is modest but notable, prompting discussions about how early winter may affect energy consumption and daily routines in the capital.
