New Delhi, Jan 4 Several areas in Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Jammu and Kashmir received fresh snowfall on Saturday as the mercury rose marginally across north Indian plains, which had been under the grip of a severe cold spell for over two weeks.
Popular tourist destinations Shimla and Manali in Himachal Pradesh witnessed the first snowfall of 2020, bringing cheers to tourists and hoteliers alike, while cold conditions persisted in the northern plains despite a marginal increase in temperature.
The national capital recorded a minimum of 8 degrees Celsius on Saturday morning, a notch above average, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.
The maximum temperature was recorded at 21.6 degree Celsius, two notches above average. The minimum temperature is expected to rise further over the next two-three days, the weatherman said.
The pollution level was recorded at 346 (very unhealthy) at 6.36 pm in the city.
A number of tourist destinations in Himachal Pradesh were shivering at sub-zero temperatures, Shimla MeT Centre Director Manmohan Singh said.
