NEW DELHI: A day after weather broke several records under the impact of consistent rain, Delhi woke up to a foggy morning, akin to that in Jan, across the national capital. According to weather analysts, the fog during morning hours was temporary condensation due to the confluence of factors that involved remaining moisture from a day earlier aided by the moisture-laden winds on Saturday morning, overnight cooling due to clear sky following days of overcast weather. “Overnight the sky remained clear, which led to cooling of the ground. That is one of the reasons that minimum temperature fell drastically to 13 degrees Celsius, which is normally seen in Feb. There was already sufficient moisture, which mounted further with moisture-laden winds during the morning hours. So, earth surface winds got condensed and this led to the formation of fog.Soon, the wind speed picked up and its direction changed to north westerly, which was dry, and this led to drop in moisture levels,” said Mahesh Palawat from Skymet. After a consistent drop for three days, the dayti-me temperature rose by 4-5 degrees Celsius on Saturday. It is expected to rise further. The IMD, however, forecasts that the temperatures will still remain below normal with another spell of rain likely on Monday.
