Gurgaon, January 27: Residents of Gurgaon (Gurugram) woke up to a significant shift in weather today, January 27, as an active western disturbance brought scattered rainfall and a dip in temperatures across the Millennium City. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for the region, citing a high probability of moderate rain, thunderstorms, and gusty winds reaching speeds of 30-40 kmph. This sudden wet spell follows one of the coldest Republic Days in recent years, intensifying the winter chill across Haryana.

Weekend Outlook: A Secondary Disturbance
The brief reprieve mid-week will likely be followed by a fresh western disturbance starting Friday night. The IMD predicts:
Thursday & Friday (Jan 29-30): Mostly clear skies with maximum temperatures rising to 21 degrees Celsius.
Saturday & Sunday (Jan 31-Feb 1): Return of partly cloudy skies with a high chance of light rain and thunderstorms.
Temperature Trend: Minimum temperatures are expected to fluctuate between 6 degrees Celsius and 8 degrees Celsius, keeping nights and early mornings brisk.
Air Quality and Visibility
The ongoing rainfall has provided a much-needed boost to the region's air quality. While Gurgaon's Air Quality Index (AQI) hovered in the "poor" category earlier this week, the showers are expected to wash away suspended pollutants, likely shifting the AQI into the "moderate" range (150–200) by Wednesday. However, commuters are advised to be cautious of reduced visibility during early morning hours, as shallow to moderate fog is predicted to return once the rain subsides.
