October 26th, 2010 - 12:26 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, Oct 26 (IANS) A dip in day and night temperatures, cool winds and a light veil of early morning fog in Delhi have set the stage for winter in the national capital, the weather office said here Tuesday.
The minimum temperature dipped to 16.5 degrees Celsius Tuesday from 18.2 degrees Monday. On Sunday, the minimum temperature was 18.2 degrees while it was 20.1 degrees Saturday.
“Over the past three days, the minimum temperature has been continuously dipping. Early mornings and late evenings are expected to be chilly for the next few days,” an official of the India Meteorological Department told IANS.
Snowfall in Jammu and Kashmir and the wind pattern over northwest India have brought down the temperatures in Delhi. “This is the first indication that Delhi is getting colder,” the official said.
