Wed Mar 05 23:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Delhi Shivers as Cold Wave Sweeps In, Fueled by Pakistani Weather System
**New Delhi, [Date]** – Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) experienced a significant drop in temperature on Thursday, with residents feeling a noticeable chill. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) attributes this sudden cold snap to a western disturbance active over Pakistan.
Strong, cold winds originating from Pakistan are sweeping across the region, causing a temperature decrease. The IMD forecasts the minimum temperature to plummet to 13 degrees Celsius, and the maximum to fall to 29 degrees Celsius.
Further contributing to the chill is the western disturbance’s impact on the Himalayan region. Heavy snowfall in Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Jammu & Kashmir is pushing cold air down into the plains, resulting in cooler temperatures and gusty winds in Delhi. The IMD has issued a heavy snowfall and rain alert for these mountainous regions.
The IMD predicts continued cool temperatures, with minimums between 10-13 degrees Celsius and maximums around 29 degrees Celsius. Residents can expect strong winds and a chilly evening. Current relative humidity in Delhi stands at 7 percent, with wind speeds at 7 km/h.
