The unusual weather in Delhi on Thursday, which ranged from a cloudy morning to a hot evening, summed up the unusual conditions of the previous 15 days and confused the locals. After a delayed time of downpour, the base temperature decreased to 15.8 degrees Celsius, making it the third coldest May morning starting around 1901, when the IMD started keeping weather conditions records. According to the climate office, landmarks in Safdarjung were covered in a thick haze around 5:30 in the morning as permeability decreased to 100 meters. The daytime high humidity and intense sunlight irritated the residents. The city's humidity levels varied widely, ranging from 80% to 100%. For the past 15 days, it has been cloudy in Delhi, and it has only rained on occasion, which is unusual for this time of year. With an average temperature of 39.5 degrees Celsius at its highest point, May has long been Delhi's hottest month. Authorities blame the subsequent Western disturbances, which brought unseasonal rainfall from the Mediterranean to northwest India.
Residents shared recordings and images of mist covering the city's horizon through online entertainment. "Dada, India, in May, with clouds. After forty years of living here, I never experienced anything like it in the north. This is illogical!" a client of Twitter said. " The morning fog of spring in Delhi! We experienced a heat wave at the same time last year!" another individual stated. According to the weather service, there is a lot of moisture in the air, calm winds, and a big difference in temperature between day and night, making it easier for the fog to form. Permeability between 0 and 50 meters, "thick" permeability between 51 and 200 meters, "moderate" permeability between 201 and 500 meters, and "shallow" permeability between 501 and 1,000 meters are all included in the IMD's definition of "extremely thick haze." The Safdarjung Observatory, Delhi's primary weather station, recorded 30 millimeters of rainfall over a 24-hour period beginning at 8.30 a.m. on Thursday.

On Wednesday, it reached a maximum temperature of 30.6 degrees Celsius, nine notches below the average, and on Thursday, it fell to 15.8 degrees Celsius, the third lowest temperature for the month in 122 years. On the same day, these temperatures were recorded. The temperature dropped to a record low of 15.1 degrees Celsius on May 2, 1969. The city's minimum temperature was 15.2 degrees Celsius on May 2, 1982. According to IMD specialists, another storm is likely to strike Delhi from Friday to Sunday, impacted by another western exacerbation. Until May 8, the highest temperature is likely to stay below 35 degrees Celsius. In northwest India, the Met Office has predicted lower-than-average maximum temperatures and fewer heatwave days in May. Since 2017, April has been the month with the most precipitation in Delhi. Due to unpredictable precipitation and a cloudy environment, the Safdarjung Observatory recorded the best temperature, about 10 degrees below normal on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.
It was the first day of May that had been the coldest since the IMD began keeping records of the weather, with a high temperature of 28.7 degrees Celsius on Sunday and a low temperature of 26.2 degrees on Monday. The city reached its highest temperature of 28.3 degrees Celsius on Tuesday.
