The minimum temperature stood at 9°C on Tuesday, four notches below 13°C recorded on Monday. It could further drop to 7°C in the next few days, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

“As Chandigarh is located at the foothills of Himalayas, any snowfall leads to cold winds blowing towards the area. Temperature will drop further in the coming days,” said an IMD official.

Meanwhile, even the maximum temperature saw a drop from 23.9°C to 22.6°C and is expected to remain in the same range in the next three days.
