Weather Delhi Today
Delhi-NCR started Monday under a blanket of mist, with temperatures hovering between 24.1°C and 31.7°C and humidity levels touching 88%. The Air Quality Index (AQI) stood at a worrying 355, placing the city firmly in the “very poor” category. Experts advised residents, especially children and the elderly, to avoid prolonged outdoor exposure.

Weather Delhi: Misty morning, polluted skies

Morning commuters in Delhi faced low visibility due to mist and smog. Despite pleasant temperatures early on, pollution levels remained high across most monitoring stations. With no rain expected today and wind speed at just 5.8 km/h, dispersion of pollutants is limited.
“The city’s air continues to be trapped under calm conditions, which restricts ventilation,” an IMD official said.


Delhi Weather Today

Mornings will be relatively cool, around 24°C — ideal for a short walk before pollution builds up. The afternoon will warm up to 31°C, making it better suited for indoor plans. By night, temperatures will ease to around 25°C. Humidity levels are expected to fluctuate through the day — 34% in the morning, dropping to 17% by evening, and rising again to 50% at night.

  • Temperature: High – 31.7°C | Low – 24.1°C

  • Weather condition: Mist

  • Rain probability: 0%

  • Humidity: 88%

  • Wind speed: 5.8 km/h (ENE)

Weather Noida Forecast

Noida is expected to experience misty conditions through Monday morning, with temperatures ranging between 24°C and 31°C. The air quality remains in the ‘very poor’ category, with an AQI around 350, making outdoor activities unsafe for sensitive groups. Humidity levels are likely to stay high at around 85%, creating a slightly sticky feel during the day. No rainfall is expected, and light winds from the east-northeast at around 6 km/h may offer limited relief from pollution.

Gurgaon Weather Forecast

Gurgaon will see a similar weather pattern, marked by hazy skies and mild warmth. The day’s temperature will hover between 23.5°C and 32°C, with visibility dropping slightly in the early hours due to mist. The AQI is expected to remain above 340, reflecting poor air quality across the NCR belt. With 0% chance of rain and weak surface winds, pollutants are likely to stay trapped near the ground. Residents are advised to avoid prolonged outdoor exposure and stay hydrated through the humid afternoon hours.


Delhi-NCR Weather Tomorrow

The city is likely to see a slight dip in temperature on Tuesday, with a high of 29.2°C and a low of 23.9°C. IMD predicts patchy rain in some parts of Delhi-NCR, with an 87% chance of precipitation. This may offer temporary relief from pollution if showers occur.

Cyclone Montha looms over eastern coast

While Delhi deals with mist and pollution, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) is tracking a deep depression over the Bay of Bengal, which is likely to intensify into Cyclone Montha by October 28. The system lies around 890 km southeast of Kakinada and is moving northwestward.

“The Andhra Pradesh government has prepared an action taken report detailing the pre-cyclone preparedness measures for Cyclone Montha, ensuring readiness before landfall,” State Civil Supplies Minister N. Manohar said.
