Delhi's daytime temperature has been between 35 and 36 degrees Celsius throughout October, and is not likely to come down in the coming days.

He said there is a chance of some western disturbance around October 25 or 26, with possible rainfall or snowfall in the upper reaches. "However, until then, we don't expect a major decline in temperatures."
Humidity fluctuated between 55 per cent and 83 per cent during the day.
