Delhi shivers through chilliest October night as temperature drops to 17.1°C

Delhi experienced its coldest night of October so far, with the minimum temperature dropping to 17.1 degrees Celsius, marking a significant dip as the season begins its gradual shift toward winter.

Despite the cool night, daytime conditions are expected to remain mild and pleasant. The maximum temperature is forecast to reach 32 degrees Celsius under mainly clear skies, offering a sharp contrast between the cooler nights and warmer afternoons that typify Delhi's transition period.

Residents celebrating Dussehra can expect favourable weather, with forecasters predicting clear conditions across the capital for the festival. The combination of cool evenings and sunny days is characteristic of October in Delhi, as the city slowly sheds the heat and humidity of the monsoon season and moves toward the cooler months ahead.
