The first half of December month is over, and the month has begun its journey towards ending. With every passing day, both the daytime highs and night lows are witnessing a declining trend.
Delhi saw the coldest night of the season on December 14 when the maximums went to drop to as low as 19.1 degree Celsius as recorded by the Safdarjung Observatory. On the other hand, the Palam Observatory too recorded the maximums at 18.4 degree Celsius which happens to be the lowest recorded by the city so far in the season.
The minimums recorded by both the observatories were also the season’s lowest as 7.3 and 8 degrees Celsius by Safdarjung and Palam respectively. The temperatures continue to be on the lower side in the last 24 hours as well, though both the temperatures crawled slightly to settle a few notches above.
