Delhi just had its coldest December day of the season

India Dec 18, 2025

Delhi shivered through its chilliest December day yet this year, with temperatures peaking at only 20.1°C—over two degrees cooler than usual for this time.
For some context, earlier this month the city hit 23.7°C, and in December 2024, the lowest was 14.6°C.
So yes, winter is definitely making itself known.

Fog alert and what's next

The IMD has put out a yellow alert for Friday, warning of dense fog in the morning and temperatures dipping as low as 9°C.
Expect patchy visibility in some areas and shifting winds during the day—so if you're heading out early or late, maybe grab an extra layer (and keep an eye on those weather updates).
