Today (14 December) in the capital Delhi and NCR, the sky will be cloudy throughout the day and the wind speed will remain high. According to the India Meteorological Department, there is no possibility of severe winter in the capital and surrounding areas at present and the temperature will remain slightly above normal till December 19.

This change is not only having a direct impact on the cold pattern, but increasing pollution has also increased the problems of the people. Both weather and air quality remain the most important concerns for Delhi-NCR at this time. It is as if Delhi-NCR is covered with a white sheet.

Current weather and wind speed of Delhi-NCR

In the last 24 hours, the weather of Delhi-NCR remained dry and clouds kept coming and going in the sky. During this period, an increase in the speed of winds has been recorded. The Meteorological Department estimates that the wind speed may remain at approximately the same level on Sunday also. There is no major drop in temperature at present.

The maximum temperature is expected to be around 23 degrees Celsius and the minimum temperature is expected to be around 9 to 10 degrees Celsius. This situation is considered equally applicable for the entire NCR region including Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram and Faridabad.

Increasing attack of pollution and strictness of GRAP-IV

Due to decrease in wind speed and lack of cold, the level of pollution in Delhi-NCR has reached a dangerous situation. Today’s AQI has been recorded beyond 600 in many areas, in which the average AQI of Delhi has reached 651, Noida 781, Raghubir Nagar 720, Dwarka Sector-3 800 and Adarsh ​​Enclave 1213. A thick layer of poisonous smog is clearly visible in the NH-24 area of ​​Patparganj.

According to CPCB, AQI has been recorded in ‘Severe’ category in many areas. In view of increasing pollution, CAQM has implemented GRAP Stage-IV in entire Delhi-NCR. Under this, strict checking of trucks and other vehicles is being done on the Delhi-Haryana border. Hybrid mode has been implemented in schools for students up to classes 9 and 11. Public, municipal corporation and private offices will work with 50 percent staff, while central government offices will shift to work from home as soon as AQI reaches 301–400.

When will the weather change and when will there be severe winter?

According to weather experts, there is no possibility of a major drop in temperature at present and till December 19, winter will be mainly limited to nights. Dr. Mahesh Palawat, senior meteorologist of Skymet Weather, said that a new western disturbance has become active in the mountains, due to which rain and light snowfall has started there. There is a possibility of another western disturbance on December 18, due to which medium height clouds can be seen in Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Rajasthan and north-western Uttar Pradesh.

However, there is no possibility of rain in these areas at present. There may be a slight increase in the minimum temperature due to cloudy weather. There is a possibility that the temperature will start falling gradually after December 15, whereas after December 22, the effect of severe cold can be clearly seen in many parts of the country.

In the second week of December, the effect of cold has started becoming visible in almost all the states of North India. A huge drop in temperature was also recorded in Bihar. Especially the morning has started getting very cold. In such a situation, Patna administration has decided to change the class timings to provide convenience to the school students up to class 8th.

The timing for children studying up to 8th in all private and government schools of the district including pre-schools, Anganwadi centers of Patna has been changed from 8.30 am. Classes will now continue till 4.00 pm. The new timing has been implemented from Thursday, December 11, which will currently continue till next Thursday, December 18.

It is important to pay attention to children’s health

Bihar district administration has issued a notification giving this information. Also, it is written on the post, “In view of the possibility of adverse impact on the health and life of children due to extreme cold weather and low temperature conditions in the district, the District Magistrate, Patna has suspended the educational activities up to class 8 in all private and government schools of the district including pre-school, Anganwadi centers from 11.12.2025 to 18.12.2025 from 08.30 AM to 04:00 PM. “Instructions have been given to operate only between 10:00 and 15:00.”

Today’s weather in Bihar

Cold is now slowly showing its effect in Bihar. There is chill due to falling temperature in the morning and evening. In most parts of Bihar including Patna, the minimum temperature has reached 9 to 14 degrees, while the average maximum temperature is 24 to 28 degrees.

How will be the weather of Bihar in the next two days?

The Meteorological Department says that there may be fog in the night and morning in Patna, West Champaran, East Champaran, Sitamarhi, Madhubani, Darbhanga, Supaul, Araria, Kishanganj, Bhagalpur, Khagaria, Aurangabad and Jamui. At the same time, there may be a significant drop in the temperature of Arwal, Jehanabad, Aurangabad, Gaya, Rohta and Kaimur in the next two days. The minimum temperature can reach between 8 to 10 degrees.

On Thursday (11 December) morning in Delhi-NCR, people started the day with severe cold. Light fog, smog and cold winds have brought a big change in the weather of the capital. There has been a slight decline in pollution due to increase in wind speed, but visibility still remains low in many areas. IMD has predicted clear sky and drop in minimum temperature.

light fog and cold wind

There was light fog in Delhi-NCR on Thursday (11 December) morning. The temperature is continuously going down and people shiver from the intense cold of the morning. According to the Meteorological Department, today the maximum temperature can be between 23-25°C and the minimum temperature can be between 7-9°C.

The wind is blowing from the north-west direction at a speed of 5-10 km/hour, due to which the weather is feeling colder. There was light fog in the morning in Delhi’s North, South, West, Central, East and Shahdara. Whereas in Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram and Faridabad, visibility was slightly reduced due to thin layer of fog.

Slight reduction in pollution, but AQI still ‘bad’

There has been some improvement in pollution today due to increase in wind speed, but the air quality has still not come out of the ‘bad’ category. According to CPCB data at 6 am, the average AQI of Delhi was recorded just above 300.

AQI was 338 in Jahangirpuri, while 317 was recorded in Vivek Vihar and 320 in Wazirpur. On the other hand, the air level of Anand Vihar remained around 300. 305 was recorded in Chandni Chowk, 308 in RK Puram and 302 in Punjabi Bagh.

IIT Delhi area remained in better condition, where AQI was recorded around 210. There was dense fog and smog in the morning in areas like India Gate, Dutta Path, ITO and Anand Vihar, due to which visibility was very low and vehicles had to move at very slow speed.

The temperature will drop further in the coming days

According to the Meteorological Department, both cold and fog may increase in Delhi-NCR in the next 3 to 5 days. On December 12, the sky is likely to be partly cloudy and there is a possibility of light fog in the morning.

On 13 and 14 December, due to the effect of western disturbance, clouds may appear and moderate fog can be seen in the morning. The weather will be clear again on 15th and 16th December, but light to moderate fog may continue in the morning.

IMD says that a further drop of 2 to 3 degrees in the minimum temperature is possible in the next 48 hours. After this, there may be a slight increase in temperature, but the effect of cold will remain.

The country’s capital Delhi and its adjoining areas remained covered in a blanket of poisonous smog on Monday (December 8) and the air quality was recorded in the ‘very poor’ category. According to the Central Pollution Control Board, the 24-hour average AQI was 308, which is a serious warning for health. People’s problems have increased due to continuous falling air level in many areas of Delhi. People are forced to breathe this poisonous air.

‘Very bad’ air at 29 centers in the capital

According to Sameer App, till Sunday (December 7) evening, the air quality was recorded as ‘very poor’ in 29 monitoring centers of Delhi. Bawana area had the worst situation with AQI 336. At 10 am the AQI was 302 and 26 stations recorded ‘very poor’ levels. According to the board’s standards, 301-400 AQI is in the ‘very poor’ category. Delhi’s decision support system reported that transportation accounted for 16.5 percent of pollution, while industrial sources contributed 8.1 percent, residential four percent and construction activities 2.3 percent.

Burden increased from NCR districts too, air remained bad throughout the week

Neighboring districts of NCR contributed significantly to pollution. According to PTI, Jhajjar’s share was 13.9 percent, Sonipat’s 6 percent, Rohtak’s 5.2 percent and Jind’s 2.5 percent. This week, continuous fluctuations were recorded in AQI. AQI was recorded at 279 on Sunday, 304 on Monday, 372 on Tuesday, 342 on Wednesday, 304 on Thursday and 327 on Friday. The air remained in the ‘very poor’ category every day, causing the layer of smog and dust to become increasingly dense.

Slight change in temperature, effect of western disturbance

According to IMD, on Sunday the maximum temperature of Delhi was recorded at 24.7 degrees Celsius and the minimum was 8 degrees Celsius, both of which were below normal. The humidity in the morning was 92 percent and in the evening it was 71 percent. The Meteorological Department has predicted the minimum temperature for December 8 to be 10 degrees Celsius and the maximum to be 25 degrees Celsius. Due to the effect of western disturbance, the minimum temperature has increased by about two and a half degrees in the last three days, but the combined effect of cold and pollution seems to be making the air of the capital more heavy.

The level of pollution in the national capital Delhi is not showing any signs of decreasing. On Thursday morning, December 4, the air quality index was recorded in the ‘hazardous’ category with 335. This level indicates a very bad situation for the fourth consecutive day, due to which the serious threat to people’s health has increased. According to CPCB, the situation may remain worse for the next few days.

In many areas of Delhi, AQI was recorded at 372 on Tuesday and 342 on Wednesday. In Nehru Nagar this level had reached 378 on Tuesday. The air quality in RK Puram, Burari, Anand Vihar, Mundka, Bawana, Vivek Vihar, Alipore, Shadipur and North Campus remained in the ‘very poor’ category.

Delhi’s air will not improve!

According to the air quality early warning system, the AQI in the capital is expected to remain ‘very poor’ for the next few days. The effect of pollution may increase further due to fog at night and less wind during the day. On Wednesday, the contribution of smoke emanating from vehicles was recorded at 16 percent, while on Thursday it is estimated to be 14.3 percent. In today’s air quality of major cities, AQI 278 was recorded in Delhi, Noida 268, Ghaziabad 313, Gurugram 276 and Greater Noida 274.

Drop in temperature, coldest day recorded

Whereas in Delhi-NCR, Wednesday 3rd December was the coldest day of December, when the maximum temperature was recorded at 23.7 degrees Celsius, which is 1.6 degrees less than normal. The minimum temperature fell to 5.1 degrees Celsius, which is 4 degrees below normal. IMD has predicted moderate fog on Thursday also and the maximum temperature will be 23 degrees and the minimum temperature will be six degrees.

According to senior scientists of IMD, the period of severe winter is going to start in NCR. According to the Meteorological Department, after December 4, the night temperature may suddenly drop to record levels and cold winds during the day may bring the temperature further down. The minimum temperature in Delhi today is expected to be 5 degrees, while in Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, Faridabad and Greater Noida it will be around 8 degrees. The maximum day temperature will also be around 22 degrees. In such a situation, the coming 48 hours may prove to be challenging for Delhi-NCR in terms of both pollution and cold.

Along with the harsh winter in Uttar Pradesh, the level of air pollution has now reached dangerous levels. According to the Central Pollution Control Board, the average AQI of the state has been recorded at 171, which is very harmful for health. Not only this, the worst situation is in Ghaziabad and Noida adjacent to Delhi. Here AQI is continuously between 300 to 400. The main reason for the spoiled air is PM2.5 and PM10 particles which have made the air completely poisonous.

According to the Meteorological Department, due to the very slow speed of the wind, the polluted particles are not able to flow, due to which this situation is being created. On the other hand, there will be fog and mist conditions in Uttar Pradesh on Sunday morning. While the temperature continues to drop, the minimum temperature is expected to be 10 degrees Celsius and the maximum temperature is expected to be 24 degrees.

in major cities AQI serious condition of

Most of the cities of the state are currently in the grip of severe air pollution. At many places it is moderate and normal and at some places it is also hazardous. AQI 190 was recorded in the capital Lucknow which is harmful for health. Apart from this, 256 in Kanpur, 200 in Agra, 180 in Varanasi, 250 in Noida, 230 in Ghaziabad and Noida is also beyond 300. In view of this situation, there is a demand to stop the factors causing pollution.

Temperature and weather clear till today

According to the Meteorological Department, the weather of the state is completely clear on Sunday. The minimum temperature is expected to be two degrees below 8 degrees Celsius and the maximum is expected to be 25 degrees Celsius. There is no possibility of rain. There will be effect of fog and mist in the morning due to which visibility will also be affected.

The weather is expected to remain around this for the next one week. After that the cold will increase further with sheet wave. Due to increase in wind speed, relief from pollution is also expected.

The residents of the capital Delhi are not going to get respite from the poisonous air even on Sunday. According to Pollution Control, AQI was recorded at 551 in the early morning, which is still in the Hazards category. The main reason for this is the presence of poisonous particles in PM2.5 and PM10 particles in the air. The wind speed is very slow, due to which the situation is worsening. In one estimate, it is considered to be smoking 12 cigarettes which is very harmful for the lungs.

According to the Meteorological Department, the minimum temperature is continuing to fall, due to which the minimum temperature is expected to be 11 and maximum 24 degrees Celsius. Apart from this, there will be effect of mist and fog in the morning and evening, due to which visibility will be affected.

AQI no improvement in PM10 at dangerous level

The average AQI of Delhi in the last 24 hours was 386 which was in the severe category, whereas it has deteriorated to 551 on Sunday morning. The main reason for this is the level of PM2.5 reaching 351 and PM10 reaching 466. According to the data of Pollution Control Board, AQI is above 400 in areas like Wazirpur, Bawana, Mundka Anand Bihar and Rohini of Delhi.

Let us tell you that last week on November 11, AQI had reached 428, which was the first ‘severe’ day of 2025. The average AQI so far in November has been 150, which is slightly 8.3% better than previous years, but is still in dangerous condition as per the standards.

Drop in temperature – cold and fog hit

According to the forecast of the Meteorological Department, there will be fog on Sunday morning, while the temperature will reach minimum 11 and maximum 24 degrees Celsius. The wind will blow at 5 to 6 km per hour, due to which air pollution is not reducing yet. The situation is expected to remain the same for the next three to four days.

On the other hand, due to western disturbance, fog and clouds are increasing in North India. There will be less sunlight in Delhi.

GRP-3 is currently in effect

Grape-3 is currently implemented in the capital Delhi, despite this the air condition is not improving. Therefore, it can be implemented in the next few days. Delhi government has also advised people to use only public transport.

With the arrival of winter in Delhi, the havoc of pollution has increased further. The situation has become such that even going out has become a threat to health. Smoke rising from factories, heavy traffic, dust from construction works and stubble burning in neighboring states are making Delhi’s air so bad that experts are calling it a direct attack on the lungs. AQI 486 was recorded in New Delhi, which falls in the dangerous category.

AQI in ‘Severe’ category in 7 areas of Delhi

The Air Quality Index (AQI) has reached dangerous levels in many parts of Delhi. At 7 places the air has been recorded so bad that it can directly affect people’s health. Bawana is 420 AQI, Wazirpur: 385 AQI, Alipore: 372 AQI, RK Puram: 334 AQI, Patparganj: 355 AQI, Burari: 348 AQI.

Experts say that this type of air weakens the lung capacity of those who breathe continuously. Children, elderly, pregnant women and asthma patients need to be especially careful.

When will Delhi get relief?

According to meteorologists, the situation is not going to change much for a few days. Relief will be available only when the temperature increases slightly and the wind speed increases. Due to wind, pollution rises up and toxic particles accumulated near the ground spread, due to which AQI improves.

Delhi temperature and air conditions

Today Saturday (November 15), the minimum temperature of Delhi is likely to be 12°C and the maximum temperature is likely to be 27.5°C. The weather will be mild during the day and pleasantly cold at night. The wind speed has been recorded at 6.1 km per hour, which is still too low for improvement.

At present, the biggest solution for the people of Delhi to avoid this blow of pollution is to remain alert. It may take some time for the air to clear.

With the beginning of November in Delhi, the weather has taken a turn. The cold of morning and evening has now started to be felt and a slight chill has returned in the air. According to the Meteorological Department (IMD), there will be a further decline in the minimum temperature in the coming few days.

At the same time, there will be a slight increase in wind speed, due to which the nights will become colder. Today (10 November) the maximum temperature in Delhi is likely to reach 27 degrees Celsius and the minimum temperature is likely to reach 11 degrees Celsius.

Sunny during the day, cold at night

The weather department says that the sky will remain clear and sunny for the next 5 days. On Sunday (November 9), the minimum temperature of Delhi was recorded at 16.3 degrees Celsius and the maximum temperature was 28.4 degrees Celsius.

In the coming days i.e. between 11th to 15th November, the minimum temperature is expected to be around 18 to 18.9 degrees Celsius and the maximum temperature is expected to be around 28 to 29 degrees Celsius. However, due to cold winds blowing at night, people will feel mild cold.

Meteorologists say that the wind speed will be 10 to 12 kilometers per hour in the morning and evening, due to which the minimum temperature may continue to fall continuously.

Cold winds increased the chill

Winds blowing at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour in the evening and night in Delhi are increasing the effect of cold. In many areas the night temperature has dropped to 9 to 11 degrees Celsius. This situation shows that now winter has officially arrived in Delhi.

The Meteorological Department has clearly said that the night temperature may fall to 13 to 14 degrees in the coming days. This means that while going out in the morning or late in the evening, there will be a need for a light jacket or sweater.

Pollution worsens the condition of the air

Along with the cold weather, the poison of pollution in the air of Delhi has also increased. According to the latest data from the Pollution Control Department, the average air quality index (AQI) of Delhi-NCR has been recorded at 361, which falls in the “very poor category”. Today (November 10) morning this level reached 370, which clearly shows that relief in the air of the capital is still far away.

The Meteorological Department has clearly said that Delhiites will not get the relief of clean air right now. There is no possibility of much change in wind direction and speed in the coming few days, hence AQI will remain in the “very poor” to “poor” category.
