Haryana’s Gurugram and Punjab’s Bathinda  recorded a low of 0.6 degrees Celsius, while Fatehpur in Rajasthan’s Sikar district crossed the freezing point threshold to reach minus 0.4 degrees, the local meteorological departments said on Monday. Near sub-zero temperatures were reported from the NCR region, including in Faridabad and Rewari, leading to ground frost.

Key Highlights

  • The frost was particularly visible in rural areas on farm boundaries and vehicle windows.
  • According to official records, Gurugram recorded a low of 0 degrees Celsius on January 11, 1971.
