It was another chilly day for Delhiites as the mercury remained below normal level on Monday.

The minimum was recorded at 2.4 degrees Celsius, five degrees below normal.

On Sunday, the mercury dropped to the season’s lowest of 1.9 degrees Celsius, forcing people to stay indoors.

Icy winds blew over the capital throughout the day on Sunday. Markets and parks, which usually see more footfalls on Sundays, wore a deserted look.

On Wednesday, the city witnessed the coldest day in 44 years when the maximum stood at 9.8°C.
