Chilly weather continues in capital
December 23rd, 2009 - 12:09 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, Dec 23 (IANS) With the festive season nearing, the chill in the air persisted in the capital Wednesday as the minimum temperature was recorded at 6.4 degrees Celsius for the second consecutive day.
Those planning to fly out of the capital for Christmas celebrations can breathe a sigh of relief as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted that there would be no dense fog in the coming days.
“The minimum temperature recorded early this morning was 6.4 degrees. The mercury is likely to drop further in the coming days, owing to snowfall in Jammu and Kashmir,” a Met department official told IANS.
It was a clear morning with no fog, the official said, adding: “Slight fog would be there in the coming days. But dense fog is unlikely.”
The maximum temperature is expected to be around 21.1 degrees.
The cyclone that struck southern India earlier this month changed the current weather pattern in the northern region, the expert added.
Delhi had Tuesday recorded the season’s lowest temperature at 6.4 degrees.
