NEW DELHI:  Dense cloud cover in the capital today led to a sharp rise in mercury to 9.4 degrees Celsius, after northwesterly winds plummeted the temperature to 6.4 degrees Celsius on Thursday.

Visibility level remained normal at 1000m.
  
The coming days could witness a sharp fall in mercury, with the weathermen forecasting a nearly two to four degrees drop in minimum temperatures due to strong Northwesterly winds blowing through the  air due to the Eastwards movement of a Western disturbance.
