Delhiites woke up to another freezing day on Monday as icy winds swept the Capital at regular intervals bringing the minimum temperature down to 2.4 degrees Celsius, five degrees below normal and barely a few notches above Sunday’s 1.9, the season’s lowest so far.

“It is so cold at night and early morning these days that it is a task to go outdoors before 11 a.m. and report for work,” said a beautician in Connaught Place. The maximum temperature was 13.4 degrees Celsius, a crawl above Sunday’s 11.8 degrees Celsius, but still seven degrees below normal.
