Okhla shivers as Delhi sees ‘cold day’ conditions for 2nd day in a row
Many residents in Okhla preferred staying indoors for a second consecutive day on Saturday as Delhi’s maximum temperature was recorded at 14.8 degrees Celsius, with thick fog blotting out the sun.
“Today also there was a layer of moderate fog/low cloud over Delhi-NCR, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and north Rajasthan. It prevented the sunlight from reaching the surface. Light north westerlies are also blowing over the region. These conditions led to a cold day,” an IMD official said.
