On 14 December the minimum temperature in the National Capital dropped to 8.4 degrees Celsius as cold winds swept the city and air quality also improved to the “moderate” category due to the strong winds.
The maximum temperature is expected to settle around 22 degrees Celsius, the India Meteorological Department said. On Sunday, the city had recorded a maximum of 20.7 degrees Celsius, three notches below normal.
The minimum temperature is set to drop further as icy cold winds from the snow-laden western Himalayas continue to blow towards the plains.
