On Thursday morning, Delhi shivered as the temperature dipped sharply at 3.4 degree celsius. The minimum temperature at the Safdarjung Observatory is considered the official marker for the national capital at 3.4 degrees Celsius, four notches below normal. On Wednesday it was 8.4 degrees Celsius.
The automatic weather stations at Delhi’s Ayanagar and Narela on Thursday recorded a minimum temperature of 3.8 degrees Celsius and 3.2 degrees Celsius, respectively.

Delhi had experienced cold wave conditions on December 20 and 21 when the minimum temperature settled at 3.2 degrees Celsius, the lowest this season so far, and 4 degrees Celsius.
Thereafter, two back-to-back western disturbances and the resultant slowing down of cold northwesterly winds and cloudy conditions gradually pushed the minimum temperature up to 9.8 degrees Celsius.
The IMD has predicted cold wave to severe cold wave conditions in northwest India till January 3.
The weather department predicted the minimum temperature will start increasing from January 4 under the influence of an active western disturbance which is very likely to cause fairly widespread rainfall and snowfall over Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh between
January 4 and 7.
It will also lead to “light to moderate scattered to fairly widespread” rainfall over Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh Delhi, north Rajasthan and west Uttar Pradesh between January 5 to January 7.
