Delhi turns Shimla: Temp drops to coldest in 4 yrs

Delhi experienced its coldest temperature in four years as heavy overnight rainfall brought winter-like conditions to the region. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a yellow alert for rain and thunderstorms in Delhi and neighboring areas, including Gurgaon, Noida, Ghaziabad, and Faridabad. The temperature drop has been significant in Delhi, which recorded its lowest maximum temperature in four years.

While the showers have improved air quality, with the Air Quality Index reaching 133 - a marked improvement from previous readings above 200, residents are already reaching for warmer clothes. The weather warning was in effect from October 29 to October 30, with isolated areas expecting heavy rainfall during the night. As the weather clears, temperatures are expected to rise again, but cooler conditions may persist during early mornings and evenings. Despite the recent temperature drop, the full winter season has not yet arrived.
