The national capital is expected to receive moderate rainfall accompanied by a thunderstorm on January 30 resulting in an increase in humidity with minimum temperature marginally increasing.On January 31, the minimums can oscillate between 8 Degree Celsius to 9 Degree Celsius and eventually they would witness a rising trend, thus abating the Cold Wave condition over the region.

 

At present, the minimum and maximum temperatures of Delh are hovering at 6 Degree Celsius and 19 Degree Celsius. The air quality remains in the poor category with overall AQI docking at 245 in the morning. Due to biting cold and pollution, the homeless residing in the national capital are forced to move into shelters set by the Delhi government. At present, there reportedly at least 248-night shelters across the national capital. Out of these, 83 operate out of permanent buildings, 115 from porta-cabins while 50 runs from European style fireproof tents. The moderate wind speed is preventing it to cross to next level (very poor).

Cold wave conditions and moderate fog is likely to prevail for the next two days. Hence, air quality is predicted to deteriorate slightly but will fluctuate between very poor to poor for the next three days,” the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting (SAFAR) said. (ANI)
