Due to the record rainfall, the temperature in the NCT dropped five degrees Celsius. Also, the air quality has improved significantly due to the increased wind speeds, which remained between 25 kmph and 30 kmph.

Kuldeep Srivastava, head of the IMD’s regional weather forecasting centre, attributed this unprecedented rainfall to rainfall, hailstorm and snowfall in the western Himalayan region.
