Delhi woke up to a pleasant morning on Friday with partly cloudy skies and no rainfall forecast for the day. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted surface winds blowing at 20–30 kmph, with occasional gusts reaching up to 40 kmph. Officials said rainfall may return on September 13 and 14, but the city will remain mostly dry this week. The maximum temperature is expected to hover between 33 and 35 degrees Celsius, while the minimum will stay around 24 to 26 degrees Celsius. Weather conditions over the last 24 hours remained near normal with south-westerly winds.
The Air Quality Index (AQI) in Delhi stood at 111 at 8 am on Friday, according to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). This places the city’s air quality in the ‘moderate’ category. Experts said wind speed played a role in dispersing pollutants and improving air conditions.
