Chandigarh, Nov. 6 -- The city continued to experience warm conditions during the day as the maximum temperature rose slightly to settle at 32.4degC on Thursday. The day before it had stood at 32degC. This was the second-highest November temperature recorded in the past 14 years - a record the city saw on Wednesday too. Since 2012, the highest November temperature was recorded on November 1, 2024, when the mercury soared to 33.2degC. The ongoing conditions appear to be a prelude to the months ahead.

Paul added that the Easterly winds, which cause fog, also add to the warm conditions. The weatherman added that dry conditions will continue for the next five to six days....
