Delhi Weather Today: Moderate Morning Fog, Highs of 27-29°C, No Rain

Delhi-NCR started Tuesday, 10 November, with moderate fog in most places and partly cloudy skies, and the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast a dry day with a maximum of 27 to 29°C and a minimum of 14 to 16°C. India.com’s weather report, based on IMD data, said the air is likely to stay in the “very poor” category.

Hazy Mornings, Dry Afternoon

For commuters, the fog is the main thing to plan around. IMD has forecast moderate fog in the morning, followed by hazy sunshine, and no rainfall in the capital today. The India.com report put the day’s range at 28 to 29°C and the night’s at 15 to 17°C, a small difference from the Hindi daily Prabhat Khabar’s figures, so the exact numbers may vary by station.

Delhi has had a long run of poor air since Diwali. IPB’s report on the post-Diwali AQI of 368 has the station-wise readings, and the Delhi air pollution page tracks the running story.

A New Western Disturbance From Tonight

IMD says a fresh western disturbance reaches the Himalayan region from the night of 10 November. Rain is possible in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh on 10 and 11 November, and in Himachal Pradesh from 10 to 15 November. Heavy rain or snowfall is expected at some places in the Kashmir Valley on 12 and 13 November. In Jammu and Kashmir, temperatures are forecast to fall after 3 pm. IPB has covered the hill forecast in Kashmir, Himachal rain and snow from 10 November and the plains outlook in Delhi, Punjab and Haryana rain from 11 November.

What IMD Expects Next

The hill rain is the system to watch over the next three days, because it decides whether the plains get any relief from the haze. IMD has not yet changed Delhi’s forecast for 11 November; its bulletins are updated through the day.
