Ah, Delhi! The city that keeps you guessing, surprises you around every corner, and even plays with your weather! This Monday morning, the national capital woke up to a delightful change: a balmy 14.1°C, three notches above its usual self. While the sun smiled down, casting away the winter chill, a hint of humidity (74% at 8:30 AM) lingered in the air. But wait, there’s more to this story! As the day progresses, the weatherman whispers secrets of light rain or drizzle painting the night sky with a touch of romance.
But before the rain paints the canvas, let’s soak in the morning’s magic. The air feels fresh, inviting you to ditch the heavy jackets and step out for a brisk walk or a leisurely cycle.
