New Delhi : North India saw foggy morning Thursday, grounding many flights due to “poor visibility” in the capital. Delhi had a warm winter morning with the minimum temperature six notches above the normal, but the Met Office said the winter is far from over.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said the warm weather condition would continue till the weekend but scattered rain Wednesday would bring back the chill.
“Till 8.30 a.m., the capital experienced 1.8 mm rainfall and there is nothing unusual about it. But the cloud cover will help the minimum temperature to stay above normal level,” said an IMD official here.
“We are very much in winter and people will experience cold spell again. Wednesday night’s rain will bring back the chill soon,” the official said.
Due to likely north-westerly winds and clear sky conditions, both day and night temperature are likely to fall by 4-6 degree Celsius over north India during the next 3-4 days.
Dense fog conditions from midnight to morning hours are also likely on Jan 11 and 12 over these regions.
The northeast monsoon rains have ceased over Tamil Nadu, Kerala and adjoining parts of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka Jan 10, the Met Office said.
Rain and snow are likely at a few places in Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand in the next 24 hours ending Friday morning.
