New Delhi, December 13, 2024: The minimum temperature in Delhi on December 13 settled at 9°C, which is 4.5 degrees above the normal average for this time of year. This temperature trend marks a warmer phase compared to previous years, with meteorologists attributing the anomaly to ongoing changes in weather patterns and the prolonged influence of warm westerly winds over the region.
This unusually mild temperature is accompanied by an improvement in air quality. The Air Quality Index (AQI) for Delhi remained in the moderate range, a welcome change for the residents who have been grappling with severe air pollution levels in recent weeks. Experts believe favorable meteorological conditions, such as light winds, have helped disperse pollutants, contributing to the improvement in air quality.
While the air quality has shown signs of improvement, residents are advised to prepare for cooler conditions as the temperature is expected to drop in the coming weeks. Authorities and meteorologists continue to monitor the situation, with some forecasts indicating a possible return of colder weather as winter sets in more fully.
This unusual rise in temperatures highlights the growing impact of climate variability on the region’s weather patterns, underscoring the need for sustainable urban planning and environmental measures. Experts have pointed to this as a reminder of how climate change can lead to erratic weather patterns, which can have long-term implications for the environment and daily life.
