Delhi’s pollution problem has not yet been resolved, but the city’s temperature has fallen significantly over the past few days and on Saturday, the city marked its coldest morning of the season. The IMD has forecast thick fog during the day. The sudden dip came after unusual rains on Friday, which had already reduced temperatures throughout the city and surrounding areas.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) reported that the minimum temperature was 4.2 degrees Celsius, which is 2.7 degrees lower than the average for the season. As a result, Delhi experienced the coldest morning of the current winter season since 2024, according to the reports.
