IMD Scientist Dr RK Jenamani said, "Cold wave persists in the city, today is the coldest day of this season. Today Safdarjung and INA recorded the lowest temp of 4.4 degrees Celsius. The temperature has been recorded as similar to the cold spell between December 25-27."
The current spell of the cold wave was caused by the northwesterly wind flow at lower and upper atmosphere from the colder region of northwest India which was accompanied by clear sky conditions which supported strong radiational cooling, the CEC Director, Dr Sarat Chandra Sahu, said.
