The minimum was higher by 0.2 degree Celsius from yesterday's minimum temperature.

The Weatherman is predicting similar conditions for tomorrow with fog likely to descend on the capital early morning and the temperature oscillating between nine and 19 degree Celsius.

The fog had begun descending on the city from 10:30 pm last night.

"After a clear day yesterday, airport was blanketed with dense fog leading to cancellations of 11 flights. 24 inbound and outbound flights were rescheduled and two were diverted as the runway visibility dropped to 150 metres late last night," an airport official said.

Eight domestic flights to Srinagar, Amritsar, Imphal, Patna and Allahabad were either delayed or rescheduled due to poor weather conditions in those cities.
