The cool breeze blowing across the city and the surprising fog formation in March are some unseen phenomena in the city. The freak weather change is creating serious problems to flyers as many fights get delayed.

According to the Meteorological Department officials, this is a “transition period” which is always unpredictable. “The North Westerly winds along with the moisture and dust particles are causing the fog which might take a few days to clear up,” said the Officer on Duty at the Safdarjung Met Department. According to the official, the nip in the weather is largely due to the continuous blowing of wind. “The body temperature is higher than the wind temperature. When the body comes in contact with the wind, the heat from the body is absorbed by it. So as long as the windy days continue, Delhi will have cooler days,” he added.

The weatherman predicts that the temperature will continue to be erratic in the coming few days. The minimum temperature will increase on Tuesday and Wednesday while the sky would remain partly cloudy though it is uncertain if there will be any rain.
