What the Forecast Says Will Happen Next
The current cool weather might not last for long, according to the weather reports. Short term, it’s likely to rain and be cloudy again, but temperatures will slowly start to rise again.
Delhi should return to its normal March weather pattern soon, with warmer days ahead as the western disturbance’s effects fade. The short term relief from smog and heat may wear off over time as the weather dries out.
A short break before summer comes back
People see these few weeks of cool weather and cleaner air as a break before summer starts. The days are usually getting warmer in March, and weather experts expect this to happen again soon.
Even though the rain has made things better for now, the long-term trend still shows that the coming months will be hotter and there may be smog problems.
For now, Delhi residents are enjoying a rare mix of cooler weather and better air. This is a nice change from the city’s usual weather, but it won’t last long.
