After witnessing the lowest temperature of 6.7 degree Celsius on Saturday, Delhi still faces the cold waves with minimum temperature below 10 degree Celsius for the third consecutive day on Monday.

According to meteorological department sources, the nip in the air seems to have settled in India’s national capital with the minimum temperature 8.5 degree in the morning as against Sunday's 7.3 degrees.

Due to a change in wind direction, the minimum temperature was hovering around 14 degree Celsius last week.

“The chill in the air and cold winds are due to north-westerly winds in the northern hilly regions. A fresh spell of western disturbance in the next two days is likely to increase night temperatures over the region,” a source said.

The weatherman has forecast mainly clear sky with mist in the morning for tomorrow. The minimum temperature is likely to hover around nine degree Celsius.
