Delhi on Wednesday saw a slight dip in the minimum temperature, with the mercury dropping to 20.8 degrees Celsius, just below the seasonal average, said India Meteorological Department (IMD).
At 8:30 am, humidity levels stood at 59 percent.
The IMD predicts strong surface winds throughout the day, with the maximum temperature expected to reach around 36 degrees Celsius in the national capital.
