Much like the day before, residents experienced no sunlight on Friday as a thick and dreary fog, coupled with shivering winds, continued to engulf the city. IMD has also issued a "yellow alert" for Saturday, which means similar weather conditions will persist and this dense upper-level fog will continue.
The maximum temperature at Safdarjung, which is representative of Delhi's weather, settled at 14.6°C on Friday, 5°C below normal and a minor jump from Thursday when it fell to 12.5°C.
Thursday, which was classified as a "severe cold day", was Delhi's coldest day in two years. The last time Delhi experienced a colder day was on January 25, 2022 when the maximum was 12.1°C.
Relief, and that too only marginal, is expected only Monday onwards, according to IMD's forecasts, with an approaching western disturbance expected to bring warmer winds and eventually, chances of light rain on Tuesday and Wednesday.
