I would like to introduced you the weather of Delhi....

                           Delhi’s coldest night

The current cold spell, the harshest of the winter so far, is being mainly caused by changes in wind patterns in the Artic and Siberia which have sent a cold burst southward from there into India.

The weather, however, is again expected to turn in a couple of days. "From Sunday or Monday, both minimum and maximum temperatures are likely to start rising," said B P Yadav, director, India Meteorological Department.

                                   

The fog too has persisted for the longest number of days this season. "It has lasted 10 days already. The fog spell started on January 13 and is likely to continue for some more days over most parts of north India, including Delhi," said R K Jenamani, director in-charge of IGI Met.

Delhi experienced its coldest night of the winter on Friday as icy northwesterly winds and a cloudless sky led to a sharp drop in the minimum temperature, which fell almost four notches compared to the previous night to settle at 4.2 degrees Celsius.

There was no escape from the chill during the day as well. With the cold night leading to condensation of moisture, a fog hung over the city through the day, screening out the sun. The maximum temperature remained four degrees below normal at 17.7 degrees Celsius.

 The previous lowest temperature of this winter, 5 degrees Celsius, was seen on December 20.

Maximum temperatures have been below normal for eight days in a row following a three-week spell of freakishly warm weather. There's another turn in the weather in store from next week.

"The expected rise in temperatures from Sunday/Monday is due to local factors. As of now, it's difficult to say whether the cold will return or when," said Yadav. On Friday, the airport experienced zero visibility between 6am and 10am and flight operations were severely affected.

"Since no major western disturbance is expected till January 27, late-night and early-morning dense fog is most likely to continue for the next 3-4 days. Moderate to dense fog is likely to occur at a few places over Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and north Rajasthan during next two days. Delhi will experience a mainly clear sky which will start becoming partly cloudy from January 25," said a Met department official.
