GURUGRAM: The chill intensified in Gurugram on Wednesday as the minimum temperature dropped to 6 degrees Celsius from 7.3 degrees the previous day, 1.3 degrees below normal. The maximum temperature stood at 16.2 degree Celsius, 5.5 degrees below normal.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), cold winds from the northwest will blow over Gurugram and Delhi-NCR. Night temperature will drop further by two-three degrees over the next few days and there is a possibility of cold wave conditions on January 28 and 29, IMD officials said.
Though the minimum temperature dipped on Wednesday, the city witnessed a daytime respite after two consecutive ‘severe cold days’, as the day was sunny for some time. According to IMD, a ‘severe cold day’ is when the minimum temperature is less than 10 degrees Celsius, and the maximum temperature is at least 6.5 degree Celsius below the season’s normal.
The department’s forecast for Thursday states that there will be mist in the morning and the sky will remain clear throughout the day. “There will be only shallow fog in the morning hours, followed by a sunny afternoon. Chilly winds will keep daytime temperatures low. The maximum temperature is expected to hover between 13 and 16 degrees Celsius in the coming days,” meteorologist Navdeep Dahiya said.
This month, Gurugram has seen four ‘cold days’ on January 10, 14, 16 and 17, and three ‘severe cold days’ on January 15, 24 and 25. Meanwhile, the health department has advised people to stay away from crowded places. “All hospitals are on alert and have created flu corners. There is a rise in cases of viral fever as well as allergies. We appeal to people to wear masks whenever they step out of their homes,” Gurugram chief medical officer Virender Yadav said.
The city on Tuesday recorded the coldest day of the season so far, with the maximum temperature at 11.7 degrees Celsius, which was nine degrees below the normal mark. The minimum temperature was recorded at 7.3 degrees Celsius, a degree above normal. This season’s lowest minimum temperature was recorded at 4.5 degrees on January 1.
The ciy’s air quality remained in the ‘poor’ category on Wednesday. The air quality index (AQI) in the city stood at 236 on Wednesday, a marginal improvement from 238 the day before.
According to the weather bulletin issued by the Air Quality Early Warning System for Delhi-NCR, moderate winds and better ventilation conditions are likely to prevail for the next seven days, due to which the air quality is likely to remain largely in the “poor” to “moderate” category.
Meanwhile in Delhi, the spell of ‘cold day’ continued for the third consecutive day on Wednesday. Parts of the national capital even witnessed ‘severe cold day’ conditions. Despite an improvement from Tuesday, the maximum temperature was at 16.4 degrees Celsius, six degrees below normal, at Safdarjung, Delhi’s base station.

Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi’s hit movie Vikram Vedha’s Hindi remake will not go on floors by mid-July as per the original plan.
