The city Friday saw a minimum of 6.4 degrees Celsius, the coldest of the season.

“The temperature yesterday (Saturday) was again cold - 6.5 degrees - but temperatures will rise from today till new year. This is because another set of western disturbances are moving in from Jammu,” said an official from the Safdarjung Meteorological Office.

“The fog cover is also likely to lower till Dec 30-31 because of the western disturbances coming. The recent fog was due to the humidity after the previous western disturbances from the north left,” the official added.

Clear skies during the day and misty mornings are expected in the coming days.
