Gurugram winter 2025: The air in Gurugram is finally carrying that familiar nip — the one that hints winter is on its way. Residents woke up on Saturday to the coldest morning of this season, as temperatures dipped to 17.6°C. The cool breeze and misty dawn made the city’s morning walks and tea stalls livelier than ever. With this sudden drop in temperature, people have started feeling the light chill both in the early hours and late evenings, bringing out those long-shelved sweaters and shawls.
The Temperature Takes a Gentle Dive
According to the weather department, the maximum temperature for the day was recorded around 29.2°C, marking a clear shift towards cooler days. Experts believe that by the end of October, the chill will become more prominent, and the real winter vibes will begin to settle in. Locals too can feel the change — mornings are now crisp, and nights are slowly turning colder. The streets, parks, and residential areas are beginning to paint that cozy autumn-to-winter picture — where fog meets warm lights and people’s laughter mixes with the smell of freshly brewed tea.
Farmers Begin Mustard Sowing as Fields Awaken
The falling mercury has not only affected the lifestyle of city dwellers but also brought cheer to farmers. With daytime temperatures now below 30°C, mustard sowing has officially begun across the region. Alongside mustard, farmers are preparing to plant gram and barley this month, with wheat sowing expected to begin in November once the temperatures dip further. This marks the start of a hopeful agricultural season, as farmers look forward to better yields with the onset of cooler, more favorable weather.
Seasonal Change and Pollution Take a Toll on Health
However, not everyone is welcoming this transition with ease. The combination of falling temperatures and rising pollution levels has led to a surge in respiratory illnesses. Local hospitals — both government and private — have reported an increase in patients suffering from asthma, cough, cold, and throat infections. By early morning, long queues could be seen outside OPDs, with more than 2,200 patients seeking medical attention by the afternoon.
Doctors have warned residents to avoid sleeping with air conditioners on and to minimize unnecessary outdoor exposure, especially during early morning and late evening hours when pollution levels and cold air can worsen symptoms. Departments ranging from medicine and pediatrics to dermatology and ophthalmology were filled with patients battling the effects of seasonal change.
A Season of Warm Clothes, Hot Tea, and Caution
As Gurugram slowly moves towards winter, the sight of people wrapped in light woolens and sipping hot beverages is becoming increasingly common. While the season brings beauty and comfort, it also calls for caution — from staying warm to protecting oneself from pollution and sudden temperature changes.
The city may have just entered the early phase of winter, but its charm is already visible in every corner — in the golden sunlight of morning walks, the steam rising from roadside tea cups, and the comforting rustle of sweaters pulled from the back of wardrobes.
