The first notable rainfall in Delhi pushed the maximum temperature down by 2.8 degrees Celsius, ending a dry and cold January. The rainfall was attributed to a western disturbance and a dense layer of fog also blanketed the city. The rain did not disperse pollutants, as the average air quality deteriorated. Dense fog is expected to continue for the next two days, with the possibility of light to moderate rain on Thursday. The minimum temperature was recorded at 7.3°C, and the maximum temperature is expected to stay around 20°C for the rest of the week.
