A Sunny but Smoggy Morning in the Capital
Residents of New Delhi welcomed a bright and crisp morning on Thursday, November 27, 2025. The city is set to experience a maximum temperature of 24.9°C, creating perfect conditions for spending time outdoors. However, this pleasant weather stands in stark contrast to the alarming air quality levels recorded just a day earlier.
Detailed Weather Forecast for November 27
The day began with a cool morning temperature of 16.4°C, which will gradually climb to the day's high. The atmosphere will be notably dry with humidity as low as 26%. Gentle winds, reaching a maximum speed of 6.1 km/h, will blow across the city, ensuring calm and stable conditions.
There is a zero percent chance of rain, and visibility remains excellent at 10 km. The evening will bring a refreshing cool breeze, with temperatures settling back into the mid-teens, ideal for an evening walk or an outdoor dinner.
Concerning Air Quality and Health Advisory
Despite the beautiful weather, the city is grappling with a serious pollution problem. The previous day's Air Quality Index (AQI) was registered in the 'severe' category at a worrying 328.
The concentration of harmful particulate matter was exceptionally high. Levels of PM2.5 reached 172 µg/m³, while PM10 concentrations were at 228 µg/m³. Furthermore, carbon monoxide levels were elevated to 526 µg/m³, a situation largely attributed to vehicle emissions and stagnant air.
While today's clearer skies and mild winds might help disperse some pollutants, sensitive groups are strongly advised to take precautions. Wearing a mask in heavy traffic areas is recommended to reduce health risks. For outdoor exercise, early mornings and late evenings are the best times.
Weekly Outlook: Consistent Sun with a Hint of Wind
The weather forecast for the next seven days predicts consistently dry and sunny conditions over Delhi. Daytime temperatures are expected to remain comfortable, hovering between 24°C and 26°C.
Nights will continue to be cool, with minimum temperatures ranging from 15°C to 17°C. A slight increase in wind speed is anticipated by the weekend, potentially reaching up to 14.4 km/h on Saturday. Low humidity will persist, making the entire week quite pleasant, with Friday and Saturday looking particularly inviting for any outdoor plans.
Interestingly, the severe AQI of 328, while still dangerous, marks a slight improvement from earlier in the week when it had touched 393. This serves as a reminder that even small changes in weather can influence the city's air quality, offering a glimmer of hope for better days ahead.
