The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Monday said that a fresh Western Disturbance is likely to influence weather conditions over northwest India on November 4 and 5. The system is likely to bring changes in temperature and wind patterns across the region, including Delhi-NCR.

In Delhi-NCR, the weather will remain mainly clear on Monday, with maximum temperatures ranging between 29°C and 31°C. Mist and haze is likely during the night, while northwesterly winds will blow at speeds of up to 20 kmph in the afternoon before easing in the evening.
