While people in Delhi are braving the intensifying cold wave of January, with temperatures falling to even 4 degrees, people in Mumbai are shuddering at 12.5 degrees. Various news reports stated that Mumbai was having it tough, as the India Meteorological Department data even declared the Maharashtra capital as cold as the hill station of Mahabaleshwar. The minimum temperature was recorded as more than four degrees below normal, and the city huddled under a cosy blanket on what was the coldest day in Mumbai on Tuesday, January 10. In 2013, the minimum temperature in the city had reached a similar 12.6 degrees. While people in Mumbai were shivering, Twitter users decided to make light of the situation, often drawing comparisons between the winters in Delhi and 'winters' in Mumbai.
