Residents in Delhi and nearby regions woke up to light showers of rain in the wee hours of January 3. While the capital is already reeling with the cold wave, the rains made it worse with temperatures plummeting to one of the lowest in the last 15 years. Reacting to the same, hundreds of Delhi-ites, as well as non-residents, took to Twitter to share ‘chilly” and “freezing” videos and pictures of the NCR region.

Sharing a short video clip of a foggy flyover in Noida, a resident wrote that the rains are predicted to continue and might make the scenes worse. Meanwhile, another user shared the photographs of people traversing in the Delhi reckoning, “Look at Delhi-ites braving cold winter mornings.” Yet there were others who took the opportunity to “salute” farmers protesting at capital’s border in the cold winter weather.
