The weather is turning colder! Starting today, the national capital, Delhi, is expected to have foggy weather on Monday, with the temperature dropping to 8 degrees Celsius at night and going up to 24 degrees during the day. After light rain in parts of Delhi on Sunday evening, the air quality has improved. Places like Kota House, Akbar Road, and Pandara Park experienced some rain.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast a cold wave across Northern India, starting December 9. Here’s what the weather will look like this week:

– December 9: Min 8°C, Max 23°C – Dense Fog
– December 10: Min 6°C, Max 24°C – Moderate Fog
– December 11: Min 6°C, Max 24°C – Moderate Fog
– December 12: Min 6°C, Max 25°C – Shallow Fog
– December 13: Min 7°C, Max 25°C – Fog
– December 14: Min 8°C, Max 25°C – Fog

A cold wave is expected to chill many areas in Northern India, including Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, and Western Uttar Pradesh. The IMD mentioned that by December 10, temperatures in Delhi could drop to about 3°C, down from 7°C now.

The cold wave will last from December 9 to 14 in West Rajasthan and will reach places like Punjab and Haryana by December 11. Cold wave conditions mean temperatures will drop sharply, making it much colder than what these areas usually experience. Already, towns like Hisar in Haryana have recorded low temperatures of around 4.7°C.

As the weather worsens, the Delhi government has set up night shelters for those in need. These shelters are located in areas like AIIMS, Lodhi Road, and Nizamuddin Flyover, helping people stay warm during these cold nights.
