At 17.8°C, Delhi recorded coldest September morning in 15 years on Thursday

Delhi recorded its coldest September morning since 2009 on Thursday. A minimum temperature of 17.8 degree Celsius was reported at Delhi Ridge on Thursday, which is the lowest ever temperature recorded in September in the past 15 years.
This temperature drop reflects broader climatic patterns and raises questions about potential changes in weather trends.
Delhi has experienced diverse temperature ranges in September in the past as well. The lowest ever September temperature in Delhi was 13.6 degree Celsius, which was recorded in Palam on September 23, 1972.
Similarly, Safdarjung saw its September minimum drop to 16.1 degree Celsius on September 24, 1930.
These were the lowest September temperatures recorded in Delhi for decades, until recently.
Notably, Safdarjung’s lowest minimum temperature for September was recorded at 21.1 degree Celsius, which is the lowest since 2009.
The recent dip to 17.8 degree Celsius marks a significant departure from the usual late September warmth, suggesting that the city might be edging towards a cooling trend, or it could merely be an anomaly influenced by specific atmospheric conditions.
Weather enthusiasts and experts are monitoring the weather in the upcoming days to understand better whether this is an isolated weather event or part of a larger pattern of climatic shifts.
