Delhi records season’s lowest minimum temperature as AQI remains ‘very poor’

Delhi has already recorded eight ‘severe’ days this month, including an AQI of 494 on November 18, Delhi’s joint second highest ever

Delhi’s air quality remained in the lower end of the ‘very poor’ category on Thursday, even as minimum temperature plummeted further, touching a season-low of 10.1°C.

Delhi’s air quality index (AQI) stood at 313 (very poor) at 9am on Thursday, a marginal deterioration from the 4pm reading of 303 (very poor) on Wednesday.

The lowest minimum temperature prior to Thursday was 10.2°C on November 21. There has been a sharp dip in minimum temperature over the last four days, as cold northwesterly winds gathered pace. It was 14°C on November 25, 11.9°C on November 26 and 10.4°C on November 27.

Forecasts show the minimum is likely to dip further, possibly going below the 10-degree mark on Friday.

Meanwhile, forecasts by the Centre’s Early Warning System for Delhi (EWS) show AQI should remain in the ‘very poor’ range now until the end of the month, with severe air quality likely to be kept at bay.

Delhi has already recorded eight ‘severe’ days this month, including an AQI of 494 on November 18, Delhi’s joint second highest ever.

The CPCB classifies AQI between 0 and 50 as “good”, between 51 and 100 as “satisfactory”, between 101 and 200 as “moderate”, between 201 and 300 as “poor”, between 301 and 400 as “very poor”, and over 400 as “severe”.

CPCB data at 9am showed 39 stations were online in the capital, with one inoperational. None of the 39 stations were in ‘severe’ category though, with the highest AQI of 377 recorded at Mundka.

The onset of winter has been slow this year, with higher-than-usual day and night temperatures recorded all through October, making it the warmest October since 1951, according to IMD.

The average monthly maximum and minimum temperature this October was 35.1°C and 21.2°C, respectively. It was 36.2°C and 22.3°C, respectively, in 1951.

The same trend carried forward into early November, due to lack of western disturbances, making the first half equally warmer.

Long period data shows the minimum in Delhi usually dips below 10°C towards the end of the month.

The lowest minimum in November last year was 9.2°C (November 23). It was 7.3°C in 2022 (November 29), 9.2°C in 2021 (November 24) and fell to 6.3°C in 2020 (November 23).

Reddit wonders if Aishwarya Rai has removed Bachchan from her name after viral image from Dubai event

Reddit wonders if Aishwarya Rai has removed Bachchan from her name after viral image from Dubai event

Aishwarya Rai appeared at a Dubai event recently, sans the Bachchan name in the graphic used to describe her as the speaker there.

Aishwarya Rai recently attended the Dubai for the Global Women’s Forum event in the UAE. While her compassionate speech about women’s empowerment made headlines worldwide, what caught the attention of many fans was that she was introduced simply as Aishwarya Rai at the event. There was no Bachchan, even in the graphic on stage, to denote her as the speaker. Given the rumours about her separation from Abhishek Bachchan, this has led to a lot of gossip on social media forums.

Aishwarya Rai at the Dubai event

A screengrab of Aishwarya’s speech at the Dubai event was shared on Reddit on Thursday. It showed her standing before a giant graphic denoting her as ‘Aishwarya Rai – International Star’. The post’s caption read, “Aishwarya Has Removed Bachchan from her official name?”

Many were convinced that it was indeed the case, and it confirmed the separation rumours. “She kind of looks happy here and it’s almost like so much weight has been removed from her heart and own self,” read one comment. Others supported her for the step. One wrote, “She was always THE Aishwarya Rai to me. Bachchan who? She looked absolutely stunning at the event BTW – perfect hair and makeup. This is what happens when you get rid of a disrespectful daddy boy.”

However, many debated against jumping to conclusions, arguing that it could be just a goof-up on the part of the event organisers. “Meanwhile the intern who skipped her surname cause there wasn’t enough space is shi**ing bricks right now,” quipped one Redditor. Another added, “It’s still there on her IG (Instagram)? I think it would really set things straight once she removes it from IG.” Aishwarya still goes by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan on her Instagram.

Aishwarya and Abhishek’s marriage

Rumours of a fallout or separation between Aishwarya and Abhishek began when she and daughter Aaradhya arrived separately at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding earlier this year. The rest of the Bachchan family arrived later, even though everyone was seated together. When the Bachchans did not wish Aishwarya on her birthday – November 1 – on social media, it added more fuel to the rumours. The entire Bachchan clan, including Aishwarya, has maintained a stoic silence on the rumours.

Aishwarya was seen in Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan films, released in 2022 and 2023. Abhishek’s most recent film – I Want To Talk – was released last Friday in theatres.
