At 2 Degrees, Delhi Shivers In One Of The Coldest Mornings This Winter
Residents of the national capital woke up to biting chill this morning after the winter temperature fell to 2 degree Celsius. The coldest day this season was on January 1 when the weather office recorded 1.1 degree Celsius.
Today’s temperature of 2 degree Celsius came from the observatory in south Delhi’s Safdarjung. Another weather office in Palam on the outskirts of the city reported 4.9 degree Celsius.
The air quality in the city remained under “very poor” category. Some parts of the city reported slow traffic due to dense fog.
Delhi has seen severe air pollution in the past in peak winter, prompting the authorities to take measures like the odd-even traffic scheme and stopping construction activity. However, for now the situation appears to be not out of control, officials said.
Delhi’s neighbour Haryana and Punjab further to the north continued to reel under cold wave, with Narnaul in Haryana reporting the coldest at 1.8 degree Celsius.
