Bright day in Capital, but NCR logs cold day

|January 23, 2024
A day after icy cold winds swept through Delhi, the Capital on Monday recorded a sunny morning and afternoon, with a maximum temperature of 17.6 degrees Celsius (°C), nearly two notches above the 15.8°C logged the day before, but still three degrees below the normal for this time of the year.

The minimum was 6.1°C - a slight increase from the 4.8°C on Sunday which meant that cold day conditions abated in Delhi.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) defines a "cold day" when the maximum is at least 4.5°C below normal, even as the minimum is below 10°C.
However, a few cities in the National Capital Region (NCR) continued to shiver under "cold day" conditions, with Gurugram recording a high of 13.4°C, and Faridabad 12.7°C. The minimum in the two Haryana cities was 6.2°C and 6.9°C respectively.
The sun coming out on Monday meant that Delhi, which was smothered by dense fog for days, got some respite. The city logged only "shallow" fog in the early hours, leading to minimal disruptions to both flights and trains.
