Yesterday was 3.2 degrees in Delhi

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said that the cold wave will continue to wreak havoc in Delhi on Wednesday as winds from the snow-covered western Himalayas move towards the plains. With this, the minimum temperature was recorded at 3.2 degrees Celsius. According to IMD, the “dense” fog in some areas of the city reduced visibility by 50 meters. Kuldeep Srivastava, head of IMD’s regional forecasting center, said that the Safdarjung Observatory gave information about the cold wave.

The IMD declares a cold wave only when temperatures reach four degrees Celsius in the plains. A strong cold wave is declared when the minimum temperature is recorded at two degrees Celsius or less. Srivastava said that due to the cold and dry northern / northwest winds coming from the western Himalayas in the plains, the minimum temperature in north India has been recorded. He told that a similar situation will remain in the city for the next two days.

The IMD reported that visibility was 50 meters in Palam and 200 meters in Safdarjung due to ‘dense’ fog. According to IMD, fog is’ very dense ‘when there is visibility between zero and 50 meters,’ dense ‘between 51 and 200 meters,’ medium ‘between 201 and 500 meters and fog if visibility is between 501 and 1000’ Is considered ‘mild’.

The minimum temperature has started to fall as the northwest wintry winds from the snow-covered Western Himalaya moved towards the plains from Saturday. According to IMD, the minimum temperature was 4.8 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, seven degrees Celsius on Monday and 7.8 degrees Celsius on Sunday. The minimum temperature was recorded at 10.8 degree Celsius on Saturday, 9.6 degree Celsius on Friday and 14.4 degree Celsius on Thursday, which is the highest January temperature in the last four years.
