New Delhi : It’s not winter yet – officially. But a drop in the temperature and nippy evenings have paved the way for it, as met officials forecast that the weather will get colder from now on.
“It’s not winter yet, but October is a month of transition and from now on it’s going to get colder,” an official of the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.
Early Sunday, the minimum temperature recorded was three degrees below the average, at 13.8 degrees Celsius.
“It will mainly be clear skies today (Sunday) and in the coming days. The maximum temperature today will hover around 30 degrees Celsius,” the official added.
With the changing weather, sneezing and runny noses have become a common sight.
Anupama Dey, a home maker, said: “Normally, I am not worried when my school-going son has a running nose at this time of the year — it’s only natural with the change in the weather. But with swine flu around, I am more careful and look out for any tell-tale symptoms”.
