Delhi NCR faces rising cold and severe air pollution simultaneously. While sunlight offers brief relief during the day, toxic air and fog continue to affect health and visibility across Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, and Ghaziabad, with no rain expected.
The dual impact of increasing cold and pollution in the NCR
New Delhi: The weather in the National Capital Region (NCR) is rapidly changing today. On one hand, icy winds blowing from the mountains have increased the cold, while on the other hand, air pollution has added to people's troubles. While the weather has become cooler in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, and Ghaziabad—all areas—the pollution levels remain extremely poor.
The maximum temperature in Delhi today will be around 27 degrees Celsius and the minimum temperature around 12 degrees. Light fog or haze may be seen in the capital in the morning due to increasing pollution. As the day progresses, the sun will emerge, providing some relief in the afternoon, but the cold will intensify again by evening.

Delhi's air turns toxic again
Air pollution levels here also remain in the 'very poor' to 'severe' category. Therefore, people with respiratory illnesses have been advised to wear masks and limit their outdoor activities. There is no chance of rain in these areas today, so the humidity will be low.

The air quality here is slightly better than other NCR cities but still falls in the 'very poor' category. Cold winds in the morning and evening may increase the chill.
Winter is slowly reaching its peak in Ghaziabad. The maximum temperature today will be around 27 degrees Celsius and the minimum around 14 degrees Celsius. Dense fog is expected in the morning due to high pollution levels. Rain is not expected, so the weather will remain dry, and cold winds may increase the chill.
