Delhi Experiences Longest, Severest ‘Cold Day’ December Spell Since 1997
On Monday, December 23, Delhi experienced its eighth straight day of intense ‘cold day’ conditions, effectively making this the longest and severest ‘cold day’ December spell in the capital in the past 22 years.
The last time Delhi experienced a similar cold spell was back in December 2014, which also consisted of eight successive ‘cold days’. However, the conditions in the ongoing spell are not just harsher, but the spell is also set to last longer, despite having begun much earlier than Delhi’s usual peak winter period from December 25 to January 15.
On Monday, ‘severe cold day’ conditions were observed across the capital, with departures from normal maximum temperatures registered in Delhi’s districts of Palam (-8°C departure), Ayanagar (-7°C), Delhi University (-7°C), Ridge (-7°C) and Safdarjung (-7°C).
While ‘cold day’ conditions are declared when the day’s maximum temperature is below normal by more than 4.4°C, ‘severe cold day’ conditions are when the mercury drops 6.4°C below normal.

Rajasthan is witnessing five of its cities registering sub-zero temperatures with Fatehpur in Sikar district being the coldest at minus 4c on 29th.. as extreme cold wave conditions prevail across north India.
As cold wave sweeps through entire north India, an unexpected surprise was in store for the northeastern state of Nagaland. For the first time in several years, residents of Nagaland woke up to fresh snowfall. Now, photos and videos of the rare occurrence are going viral on social media.
Taking to Twitter, H. Khehovi, MLA from Suruhoto Constituency in the Zunheboto district of the state shared photos of the snowfall in Nagaland. “What a wonderful gift for the people of Luvishe Village under Aghunato sub-division of Zunheboto district to experience snowfall after 37 years. Indeed, Mother Nature have showered her blessings upon Nagaland this Christmas,”

Note on 2012/2013 Cold Wave:
Delhi cold...2012/2013
While it is common for the minimum temperature to stay below 6 degrees during December-January, 'cold day' conditions — that is, day temperatures staying much below normal — are uncommon.According to temperature records since 1973, the longest spell of below-16 degree temperatures was for 10 days in Jan 2003. In this period, there were only four winters (December-January) when the total number of below-16 degree days was 10 or more. By contrast, there were as many as 33 'coldest nights' (minimum below 6 degree C) out of the 62 days in the 1996-97 winter.
For nine straight days since December 31, the capital hasn't seen temperatures rise above 16 degrees Celsius and the minimum has remained below 6 degrees. Taking these two temperature limits as cutoff, TOI sifted through data for the past 40 years. No other unbroken spell of biting chill — both minimum and maximum temperatures staying this low — had sustained for as long as this, it was found.
The closest Delhi came to such a prolonged period of severe cold was a six-day spell that began on January 4, 2011. While there have been longer periods of either the maximum temperature staying below 16 degrees or the minimum not rising beyond 6 degrees, the double whammy of cold days and freezing nights — as seen in the past nine days — was unmatched in the period studied.
