New Delhi : After an intense cold wave gripped the national capital throughout most parts of the week, Delhiites on Friday woke up to the coldest day of the season as the mercury dropped to 4.2 degrees Celsius.
According to the weather department, the minimum temperature recorded in the national capital was the lowest of the season while the maximum temperature for the day is 14 degrees Celsius.
The early morning temperature in Delhi-NCR was recorded at around 5-6 degrees Celsius, but mercury was recorded at its lowest level at 5.30 am when temperatures dropped to almost 4 degrees Celsius.
Though temperature has dropped further in Delhi-NCR and other parts of north India, the wind speed today has decreased and is likely to be the biggest reason behind increased pollution levels.
