Delhi experienced sudden chills and chaos after heavy rain on 8 October. Clear, warm weather is expected ahead, but La Niña may bring a colder, harsher winter by late 2025.Delhi residents woke up to sudden chills on Wednesday, October 8, after a day of heavy rainfall. The intense rainfall on Wednesday led to chaos in the national capital, with vehicle movement being slow for hours. At least 15 flights were diverted to Jaipur and other cities, as bad weather conditions made it difficult for the plane to land safely, the Delhi Airport authorities informed.
After the rain, parents speculated if Noida schools were closed on October 8. However, the city administration did not make any announcement confirming the closures. They are advised to connect with the respective school authorities to get an update on it because several parts of the city are significantly waterlogged, which may require temporary closure in some places.
Experts say a weather pattern called La Niña might start by the end of 2025. This can lead to stronger western disturbances (weather systems that bring rain, snow, and cold winds) and more fog in the region. As a result, cities like Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Ghaziabad, and Faridabad might face a longer and colder winter than usual, reported The Times of India.If La Niña does happen, north India could get colder-than-normal weather, and the Himalayan areas may receive more snowfall Even a mild La Niña could bring strong cold waves, making the 2025-26 winter season harsher and more difficult than past years.
