Agreed. The lowest temperature in Hazaribagh in the past week was 43F / 6C on Jan 14. Temperatures of 5C or lower are often characterized in Indian media reports as extremely low temperatures. I guess it depends on what you're used to.

Coldest day of winter in Delhi

NEW DELHI: Delhiites shivered today as the maximum temperature plummetted to 14 degree Celsius (57 F), making it the coldest day of this winter.

Today's maximum was six degree Celsius below normal and down from the previous day's 20.3 degrees while the minimum temperature was at 9.3 degree Celsius (49 F), two degrees above normal but down from yesterday's 10.5 degrees.
