Delhiites woke up to the coldest Christmas in five years on Sunday as the mercury plunged to the season's lowest of 2.9 deg. Celsius, five degrees below normal.
“While Sunday's minimum broke Saturday's record of 3.3 deg. Celsius, the maximum was recorded at 20.3 deg. Celsius, one degree below average,” a Met department official said.
Noting that the temperature may go down further with the winter chill here to stay for another couple of days, he said the forecast for Monday suggests that the minimum temperature could even touch 2 deg. Celsius and the maximum would be around 21 deg. Celsius.
However, there was good news for air travellers as the Met department predicted a clear sky with “shallow” fog in the morning without chances of rain. The maximum and the minimum humidity were recorded at 93 and 27 per cent respectively.
