Answer
The temperature of Delhi is lower than that of Chennai in December because Delhi is farther from the Equator and receives more slanting rays of the Sun during winter. Chennai, being closer to the Equator and surrounded by the sea, experiences a maritime climate, which keeps its temperature moderate. Hence, Chennai remains warmer than Delhi in December.
