New Delhi | December 10, 2025: As India moves through the second week of December, the winter chill has officially intensified. Today, Wednesday, December 10, marks the beginning of a cold wave across several states in North and Central India, while the Southern peninsula prepares for another spell of rain.
From the foggy highways of Uttar Pradesh to the wet coasts of Chennai, here is your comprehensive weather report for today.
1. North & Central India: Cold Wave & Dense Fog
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued significant alerts for North and Central India as temperatures take a dip.
- Cold Wave Alert: A "Cold Wave" warning is in effect today for isolated pockets of Punjab, West Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and Vidarbha.

- Delhi Weather: The national capital is seeing clear skies today with a maximum temperature of 24°C and a minimum of 10°C. However, pollution remains a major concern as Delhi's Air Quality Index (AQI) hovers in the 'Poor' category (approx. 225-269), with toxic smog visible around India Gate.
2. South India: Rain Returns to Tamil Nadu
While the north freezes, the south is getting wet. The Northeast Monsoon has triggered a fresh rainy spell.
- Tamil Nadu & Puducherry: Light to moderate rain is expected across the region today.

3. West India: Mumbai's Hazy Winter
Mumbai is experiencing a "winter feel" but with a catch.
- Mumbai: The city woke up to a cool morning with a minimum temperature of 21°C and a high of 30°C. However, a thin layer of haze is lingering, keeping the AQI in the 'Poor' category (~141) due to dust and construction activity.
