ADVERTISEMENTThe Met office said there was a gap of more than 12° Celsius between the temperatures recorded early on Saturday morning and those in the afternoon. “Successive western disturbances are stalling the winds that could have made the days colder,” an IMD official said. The wide gap between the minimum and the maximum temperatures is making the days feel warmer. “Both maximum and minimum temperatures are in the normal range,” the official said. “This winter was the coldest in a long time, and the return of normal day temperatures this week is creating the impression of hot weather.”
