The minimum temperature at Safdarjung, Delhi's primary meteorological station, fell to 23.2°C on Friday, registering a drop of 0.8 degrees from Thursday's 24°C. The reading also fell marginally short of the seasonal normal by 0.1 degrees, indicating a gradual cooling trend as the capital transitions through the season.
The India Meteorological Department data from the Safdarjung weather station, which serves as the official reference point for Delhi's temperature and weather conditions, showed relatively stable atmospheric conditions throughout the day. The marginal dip in minimum temperatures reflects typical weather patterns for this time of year in the Delhi region.
Air quality levels across Delhi remained in the moderate range, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) not breaching the threshold for higher pollution categories. This moderate air quality status suggests that residents are not facing immediate health advisories, though authorities continue monitoring atmospheric conditions closely.
Weather officials noted that temperature fluctuations of less than a degree remain within normal seasonal variations for Delhi. The combination of stable temperatures and moderate air quality provides residents with generally favorable conditions for outdoor activities, though precautions are advisable for vulnerable populations including children and the elderly.
