NEW DELHI: Heavy rain and dusty storms brought a pleasant change to Delhi's temperature on Thursday after the capital experienced the warmest night of the season. The drop in temperature brought a much-needed respite from heat.
The city recorded its minimum temperature at 25.9 degrees Celsius on Wednesday night, approximately six degrees above normal, marking the highest this season. The city's minimum temperature surpassed Wednesday's 25.6 degrees. This makes it the highest minimum temperature for April in three years, as per official records.

The IMD reported varying conditions across the city, with some areas experiencing warm to very warm night conditions.
The IMD specifies that a "warm night" occurs when the maximum temperature stays at or above 40 degrees Celsius, with minimum temperatures 4.5 to 6.4 degrees above normal levels.
