New Delhi: Delhiites continued to shiver on Monday due to icy winds blowing from the snowcapped northern
mountains even as the temperature rose slightly.
The Met department attributed the cold conditions to
the icy winds blowing from Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and
Kashmir.
The minimum temperature was recorded at 9.6 degree
Celsius against yesterday`s minimum of 9.5 degrees.
Yesterday`s maximum temperature was 15.3 degrees, which is
seven degrees below normal.
There was mist in the morning with visibility coming
down to 1000 metre. However, there was no disruption in the
flight operations at the IGI airport.
A thick blanket of fog on Saturday had thrown rail and
air traffic out of gear and weather officials had attributed
the intense fog to condensation.
The Met department`s forecast said there may be mist or
shallow fog in the morning tomorrow. The maximum and minimum
temperature will be around 19 and seven degree Celsius
respectively.
