Opening of the Delhi Asian Games

Mild and clear in the small hours, the air near 68°F and still. Cloud thickened through the morning and light rain began near 9am, a thin steady drizzle that kept on all day and into the night. The air warmed to near 81° under it by mid-afternoon, close and damp, the light dull and the breeze light. Nothing about the sky changed. Evening came down grey and wet and the air settled near 69°.
