The chill has been attributed to a cold wave across north India. It was freezing up there a few weeks ago.. We haven't hit the lowest temperature ever recorded though, this was 7.4 degrees Celsius on January 27, 1962.

Subtropical Chill..
Mercury levels in the Mumbai megalopolis touched new lows on Australia/Republic Day with the minimum temperature falling to 10.2 degrees Celsius. Brrrrrr.... This is something we're not used to, this is a subtropical climate... Whilst we wait for the cloudless skies of the dry season to end and the humidity of the coming monsoon season to build, the last thing we thought we'd see is images of the north of India in our streets. Working men wrap their heads in scarves as if to keep their jaw from chattering and dress in grubby cricket style pull overs while they sit around small fires of road litter and broken twigs. The chill doesn't last long, by the first rays of the morning sun the temperature is climbing to 20 degrees heading toward the 30's...

Shaz / Mark,
My goodness how are you coping with such freezing conditions? Please let me know if you would like me to send you a fur coat, gloves, beanies or anything to save you from this!

Thanks mate, I reckon this cold snap will be over soon.. I'm guessing the Moscow winter has stolen your Aussie summer tan by now...
That's an awesome shot. How did you get so close and have them so relaxed and unposed?
