Chandigarh, Oct. 15 -- Following record-breaking rain in the first week of October, sunny weather has returned to the city, but the maximum temperature remains several notches lower than before the showers, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). With the winter setting in gradually, the day temperature is unlikely to cross 35degC now, said officials. Before the rain began on October 6, the city had recorded a high of 36degC on October 5. On October 14 (Tuesday), the maximum temperature was 32.3degC, about one degree above normal. During the spell of rain in the first week, the maximum temperature had plunged to 22degC on October 7, the lowest for an October day in three years. Though the mercury has been rising steadily since, it is expected to remain around 31degC this week. The minimum temperature has also dropped noticeably, from 23.2degC at the start of the month to 17.8degC on October 14, leading to cooler mornings and evenings. The IMD expects night temperatures to fall gradually in the coming weeks as the city heads toward winter. On October 6, Chandigarh had received 33.4 mm of rainfall, the highest October rainfall since 2004, when the city had logged 129.6 mm on October 12. The city's Air Quality Index (AQI) continued to remain "moderate" on Tuesday. The AQI was 102 as per Central Pollution Control Board's daily bulletin, which takes the average of the three CPCB observatories in Chandigarh for the past 24 hours at 4 pm. An AQI between 101-200 is classified as moderate, but can still cause breathing discomfort to people with lung and heart diseases....
