Fog envelopes Delhi, north India shivers (Lead)
December 6th, 2010 - 8:29 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, Dec 6 (IANS) Heavy fog covered Delhi Monday, and a cold wave swept through large parts of north India, causing the people to shiver, the weather office said.
“The skies have remained cloudless throughout the day. It is due to a cover of a highly humid fog that one may experience lesser sunshine than normal,” said an official of the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
Though northern parts of the country are facing the onslaught of a harsh winter already, this did not have a direct bearing on the slight drop in temperatures here, he said.
Srinagar registered the season’s coldest day Monday with minimum temperature at minus 3.4 degrees Celsius. The minimum temperature in Ladakh was minus 12.8 degrees Celsius.
Delhi’s wintry, misty day dawned with the minimum temperature at 7.9 degrees Celsius, falling a degree below the average for this time of the season, and maximum humidity at 95 percent. The maximum temperature was recorded at 23.9 degrees Celsius.
“We expect the temperature to stay constant for the next two to three days,” the official added.
