Ray of hope: Capital sees sunlight after 10 gloomy days

SEVERE cold waves and mild fog continued to grapple the national capital region and several other areas in north India.

The cold day conditions prevailed across the city, however, a bit of respite came after traces of sunlight were witnessed during the day.

The city witnessed some amount of sunshine on Thursday after almost ten days of dark and gloomy days, following which there was a bit of a surge in the day’s temperature. ‘Cold day’ to ‘severe cold day’ conditions have been prevailing over many parts of north India since December 30.

A “cold day” is when the minimum temperature is less than or equal to 10 degrees Celsius and the maximum temperature is at least 4.5 notches below normal.
