Delhi-NCR has experienced its first winter chills this season, with a minimum temperature of less than 10 degrees Celsius.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) officials explained the temperature dip by the cold northwesterly winds coming from the snow-covered mountains toward Delhi. In addition to the chilly northwesterly winds, IMD scientist RK Jenamani observed that the sky was clear. The temperature will continue to range between 9 and 11 degrees over the next few days since there isn't any significant western disturbance in the forecast. From November 21, the temperature is projected to fall even more, according to Jenamani.

Today's maximum and lowest temperatures will be 27 and 12, respectively. On Monday, Delhi experienced the coldest morning of the season so far as the temperature dropped to 8.9 degrees Celsius and the air quality remained "very poor."
