According to met officials, the coldest day before this was recorded on January 10, 2011 when the temperature was recorded at 11 degrees Celsius.

The maximum temperature in the city was lower than that of even Shimla, where the maximum temperature was recorded as 10.4 degrees Celsius.

"I just came back from a vacation in Shimla and the weather over there is much better than in the city here. The lack of sunshine makes the day not only cold but also depressing," said Karanveer Rana, a resident of Saket.

According to the weatherman, the temperatures are expected to remain between 12 and 5 degrees. Thick fog is expected in the morning. Contrary to some reports, the minimum temperature on Sunday is not expected to touch 2 degrees Celsius.

"We are expecting the winds to blow away the low-stratus fog from tomorrow onward. The low stratus fog is responsible for blocking the sunlight and making the city miserably cold," said a met official.
