The city’s sky turned grey on Saturday afternoon, but the Met office clarified that it was not due to cloud cover but a haze formed by suspended particles. Suspended particles include road dust that gets stirred up by vehicular movement and may also contain PM2.5 particulate matter. The minimum temperature was recorded at 12.8° Celsius, one degree below the 30-year average, and 0.1° Celsius lower than Friday. Early risers experienced the chill first hand, as the minimum temperature is recorded in the morning hours. The haze of suspended particles remained visible across the city throughout Saturday.
