Delhi recorded a minimum temperature of 26.1 degrees Celsius on Thursday, which is 0.8 degrees below the season’s average. The relative humidity at 8:30 am was recorded at 64 percent, indicating a moderately moist atmosphere.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted a generally cloudy sky for the day, with chances of light rain or drizzle. This weather condition may provide some relief from the prevailing warm temperatures. The maximum temperature is expected to reach 34 degrees Celsius, maintaining a warm but not extreme heat level for the day.

Delhi’s air quality, measured through the Air Quality Index (AQI), stood at 110 according to data from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). This value places the air quality in the ‘moderate’ category. The AQI scale ranges from zero to 500, with zero to 50 classified as ‘good’, 51 to 100 as ‘satisfactory’, 101 to 200 as ‘moderate’, 201 to 300 as ‘poor’, 301 to 400 as ‘very poor’, and 401 to 500 as ‘severe’. An AQI of 110 indicates that the air quality is acceptable; however, there may be a slight health concern for very sensitive individuals.

Overall, residents of Delhi can expect a warm day with some cloud cover and light precipitation, alongside moderate air quality conditions. The weather pattern suggests a typical seasonal shift with mild fluctuations in temperature and humidity.
