New Delhi, Nov 28 (UNI) There was some abatement in the ongoing chill in the Capital city today with the mercury rising to 10.4 degree Celsius.

The maximum dropped further, from 27.5 Degree Celsius yesterday, to 27.4 degree celsius today.

The relief from chill is likely to remain for the next couple of days with the weatherman forecasting a rise in night temperature in the next few days under the influence of a Western disturbance.
