Break from cold wave, but not for long: IMD

Gurugram recorded a minimum temperature of 5.4°C on Friday and a maximum of 21.5°C.

Safdarjung, representative of Delhi's weather, recorded a low of 9°C, which is around normal for this time of the season. This was a sharp increase from Thursday when the minimum was 4.5°C. Prior to that, on Wednesday, the minimum temperature was 4.9°C—when the Capital witnessed cold wave conditions in some parts for the first time this season.

On Friday, no weather station recorded cold wave conditions. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said the rise in temperature was likely due to localized variations in wind direction and speed.

IMD has, however, forecast a drop in mercury again over the weekend but said that cold wave conditions are unlikely to return.
