NEW DELHI - The residents of Delhi experienced a very chilly weekend with mild sunshine Sunday. The icy winds that blew throughout the day will continue for the week ahead, according to the weather office.
The maximum temperature Sunday evening was recorded at 18.2 degrees Celsius, three degrees below average for this time of the season, while the minimum was at 9 degrees, two notches above average, an India Meteorological Department official said.
The mornings and evenings in the coming week will be misty but the days would be clear with mild sunshine.
“The sun will not make any difference as the icy winds are expected to blow throughout this week. The cold winds are here because of the snowfall in higher Himalayas,” the IMD official added.
The humidity levels wavered between a high of 92 percent and a low of 44 percent.
