Hisar, December 31
Hisar recorded -1.2°C temperature, eight degrees below normal, on Thursday that broke the record for the coldest December night in 47 years, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.
The IMD said it was the coldest day of December in Hisar since 1973 when the mercury was recorded at
-1.5°C. In contrast, Shimla recorded the minimum temperature at 3°C.
Cold weather coupled with dense fog disturbed the normal life in the region.
Haryana’s Narnaul saw a minimum of -0.5°C, while it was 0°C in Punjab’s Bathinda. The sub-zero temperature is likely to reduce the yield of vegetables and rabi crops, including mustard and gram, except wheat. The milch animals are also suffering due to the extreme cold.
