A pale winter sun during the day and a drop in the mercury meant there was no relief from the cold today in Delhi, which also saw a dense fog in the morning delaying more than 50 trains.
The minimum in the national capital settled at 6.6 degrees Celsius, a notch below normal, while the maximum was recorded at 16 degrees, a drop of five points from the season's average.

Humidity in air oscillated between 63 and 97 per cent, a MeT official said.
The forecast is for fog in the morning tomorrow followed by partly cloudy skies during the day, the weatherman added.
The minimum and maximum are expected to be at 7 and 17 degrees, respectively.
