Delhi has experienced pleasant weather in the past few days despite icy winds blowing across the city.

The mercury had risen to 24.3 degrees Celsius last week.

The weatherman had earlier said that warm weather conditions would be short-lived, and mercury could dip over the weekend following snowfall in the Himalayan region and rains in the foothills.

The piercing chill and icy winds that had persisted for several days cleared away on Monday when the maximum temperature rose to 19.2 degrees Celsius, after keeping below 15 degrees for almost a week.

The capital has recorded at least five cold-related deaths since December 26.
