• As per the data from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), the national capital has recorded the coldest night of the season 2025 with 18.8°C. Last year, the minimum temperature was below 20°C. On October 3 in 2023, 18.3°C, and on October 9 in 202,2, 19.3°C. 
• “Mainly clear skies will persist for the next few days, leading to a rise of the maximum temperature by a couple of degrees. However, since clear guys will pursue at night as well, say more or less consistent as the dissipation will be high from the Earth's surface,” said the vice president at Skymet, Mahesh Palawat.

• “During this season, we do see some fluctuation in wind speed. As a result, the pollution level might spike and then go down again, but this is normal during this season,” he continued. However, IMD has forecasted that the maximum temperature is to be between 31 ° C to 35° C by next Wednesday. 
• “The air quality in the region has improved. The quality is very likely to be in the modded category from Saturday to Monday. The outlook for the subsequent days is that the air quality is likely to be in the moderate category,” said the Air Quality Early Warning System (AQEWS) 
• This year is going to be the coldest winter in years due to La Niña. It may intensify cold waves and make the winters even harsher, according to a report by TOI.

What is La Niña?

It is a climate condition that happens due to the cooling of the surface ocean water, specifically in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, leading to the temporary global cooling and climate change. La Niña cools down the large areas of the Pacific Ocean, which is why the world may experience extreme cold.

Guess who's back, back again. La Niña's back, tell a friend.

For the fifth time in six years, La Niña is back.

Is the La Niña trend being influenced by rising global temperatures? Given how important El Niño and La Niña are to weather patterns, it's critical to figure this out! pic.twitter.com/kPT754RjbJ
