Delhi continued to reel under a severe cold wave on Sunday morning with the minimum temperature settling at 3.4 degrees Celsius, a notch above Saturday's minimum temperature.
Delhi had recorded season's coldest day on Saturday with minimum temperature dropping to 2.4 degrees Celsius.
Dense fog enveloped the city reducing visibility to less than 500 metres.

While the Palam Observatory recorded a minimum temperature of 3.2 degrees Celsius, the mercury dropped to 2.8 degrees in the Lodhi Road area.
