Rain lashed Delhi on Friday, intensifying the ongoing cold wave as temperatures dropped to a minimum of 12°C and a maximum of 20°C. Early morning showers drenched key areas like Safdarjung, Palam, and India Gate amidst a foggy atmosphere. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasted thunderstorms with gusty winds (30-40 kmph) for December 27-28. Despite the rain, Delhi’s air quality index (AQI) remained in the ‘very poor’ category, with hotspots like Mundka and Dwarka Sector-8 reaching severe levels. The city is on high alert following former PM Manmohan Singh’s demise, with enhanced security across sensitive locations.
