So, it is official now. First some statistics and some news. Yesterday saw a low of 6 C in Delhi. The Christmas day had Delhites shivering at 11.5 and 5.4 C. Detailed Analysis: Weather department has found that after 1997, Delhi is having the coldest December with an average maximum mean around 19.8 C. The record low after 1901 was in 1997 - around 17.8 C. Delhi last had a cold spell- some consecutive 9 to 10 days of low temperatures in 2014, and more extreme ones in 2003 and 2008. But after a long time, I have seen a December like this. Yet, then may be I was more physically active, I was able to tolerate the cold better. By the way, the cold weather is testing me. I wonder if one day, we see something like a maximum of 5 C and minimum of 1 or zero C ?? Many of our offices have central temperature control, but not homes. And it is a chore to bathe at time, and shave, even with doors closed. And I am feeling like a sloth bear, and pretty lazy. But can I hibernate? Well no!! And if any person of other nation or state wants to experience a Hilly area feel in a plain area, one can come to Delhi now!! News source : India Today and some more news channels A worth reading link : Late edit : I am reminded of the constant 9 and 2 max and min (in C) in England, during my stay there years ago. And without the central heating, well it is almost the same!! So we have in some ways, the cold, dark and grey English weather !!
