A layer of shallow fog engulfed the national capital this morning, resulting in delay of 26 north-bound rail services and rescheduling of four others.

"While 26 trains were running behind scheduled by several hours, no train service was cancelled," a railway official said.

The MeT department official predicted that the skies will be generally cloudy, while there is a possibility of light rainfall/thundershower in the afternoon/evening.
"The maximum temperature is expected to hover around 22 degrees Celsius," he added.
Yesterday, the maximum and minimum temperatures were recorded at 25.6 degrees Celsius and 10 degrees Celsius respectively.
