    What's the story

    Delhi experienced the season's coldest temperature in the early hours of Monday as the minimum temperature nosedived to 1.4 degrees Celsius amid a fresh cold wave spell.

    The mercury level witnessed a drop of nearly nine degrees in two days. Delhi's minimum temperature was 4.7°C on Sunday and 10.2°C on Saturday.

    Monday's temperature was also reportedly the lowest for this month since January 2021.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    Delhi saw an intense, five-day cold wave at the beginning of the month, the second longest for January in a decade. By the end of last week, it had recorded over 50 hours of dense fog, the highest for January since 2019.

    After a brief respite, an alert was issued predicting another cold wave. A meteorologist even predicted the temperature could drop to -4°C.

    Regions

    Rajasthan's Churu coldest in plains at -2.5 degrees Celsius

    A cold wave coupled with fog prevailed over Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, and isolated parts of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan.

    Rajasthan's Churu, located near the Thar Desert, was the coldest in the plains, with a minimum temperature of -2.5 degrees Celsius.

    Haryana's Hisar recorded a minimum temperature of 0.8 degrees Celsius, while Amritsar in Punjab witnessed 1.5 degrees Celsius.
