With temperature remaining at comfortable levels, people thronged public places like Connaught Place and the India Gate lawns to celebrate the country's 68th Independence Day.
The humidity hovered between 71 and 53 per cent.
As the sky remained a little overcast throughout the day, people came out and flew kites, mostly in parts of old Delhi.
According to the MeT department official, the maximum temperature settled down at 35.2 degrees Celsius, two notches above the season's average and marginally less from yesterday.
"Traces of rains which are too less to be measured were recorded in Ridge area. However, areas under Palam, Safdarjung and Ayanagar observatory received no rainfall," said the weatherman.
The weatherman predicted partly cloudy sky along with the possibility of light rain in some parts of the national capital.
