As many as 55 flights were delayed due to fog at Delhi airport and three international flights were diverted, while more than 80 trains were running late in the region.
The national capital, recorded the lowest temperature in the past five years with the mercury dipping to 2.6 degrees Celsius, five notches below normal. The maximum stood at 19.2 degrees Celsius, one notch below normal.
"This is the lowest temperature recorded in Delhi in the past five years. It could be the lowest in the past decade too but records for the same aren't immediately available," a MeT official said, adding Delhi's all time low of 1.1 degrees was recorded on 26 December, 1945.
Jammu & Kashmir too continued to reel under intense cold with the mercury in the state's summer capital Srinagar settling at minus 4.7 degrees Celsius and Leh recording the season's coldest night so far.
Leh, in the frontier Ladakh region, recorded a minimum temperature of minus 17.0 degrees Celsius, a further drop from the previous night's minus 16.4 degrees Celsius. Kargil, with a low of minus 15.2 degrees Celsius, was the second coldest place in the state after Leh.
The minimum temperature in Srinagar, the summer capital of the state, appreciated a little to settle at minus 4.7 degrees Celsius.
Srinagar witnessed the coldest night of this season so far with the mercury plunging to minus 5.6 degrees Celsius the previous night. Severe cold has led to the freezing of parts of many water bodies including the famous Dal Lake located in the heart of the city.
Meanwhile, bone-chilling cold wave conditions continued to sweep across Punjab and Haryana with Chandigarh recording the coldest night of the season so far at 2.3 degrees Celsius, five notches below normal.
