Even though, the winter temperature will fall during January, it is weird for the temperature to go down so slow in Leh in Novemebr. ‘Usually such low temperatures would be witnessed here in the months of January-February, but for the temperature to drop to minus 23.5 degrees in November is something I have not seen in my lifetime,’ said Nisar Ali, 45, a driver belonging to Leh.

Delhi pointed 8.6 degrees the lowest temperature on Novembers’ in three years. The maximum goes upto 25.4 degress celsius, mostly as a result of clear daytime skies.

Snowstorm in Kashmir and Himachal because of a passing western disturbance led cold winds to blow over Delhi.
