Delhi is under cold day conditions as the weather remained grey and damp on Friday. Intermittent light rain throughout the day did not allow the temperature to rise beyond 12.9°C. Even on Saturday, Delhiites witnessed shallow fog in early morning hours and the day is likely to remain cloudy and gloomy. Cold day conditions will prevail as maximum will not rise above 15°C. The biting cold winter in Delhi effects restaurateurs as the customers’ count dwindles. Street Vendors are also severely affected during winters.
Cold day conditions will continue to prevail in parts of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and north Madhya Pradesh in view of rain. Cold and moist north westerly winds sweeping across Northwest India and extending to eastern parts will add to the misery of people.
Shallow fog and rain did not allow temperature to rise in several parts of Uttar Pradesh. Here’s a list of places where cold day conditions prevailed and temperatures maintained below 16°C -
| Name of State | Name of Places | Maximum temp. on Friday(in °C) |
| Uttar Pradesh | Aligarh | 13.4 |
