So, are our Himalayas not the coldest on Earth, this time of the year (January)?

The mighty Himalayan peaks(more than 7000 metres above mean sea level) record temperatures of -40 c to -50 c this time of the year (January).. Though relatively less colder than Siberia and arctic Canada , winds on the mighty Himalayan peaks may reach speeds of 150 kmph ..Alongwith temp of -50 c , they can cause wind chills of -90 (will cause immediate frostbite on exposure) ..These wind chills of the mighty Himalayan peaks are the lowest wind chills recorded on Earth during north hemisphere winters (January)

Hi sir so much variation in minimum from 6 to 19 at gujarat is it due to altitude or sea influence. Will be interested to know it

Narayanan : Gujarat is not a plateau .. Most of the state is plains..

On the west coast , min temp decreases as you move away from the sea ( for eg .. please read the microclimates of Mumbai and Goa at -> http://www.vagaries.in/p/mumbai.html )

At Okha 19 c is the min temp (because the observatory must be by the Arabian sea)..By the Arabian sea the min temp do not decrease , they remain steady .. and it's windy ..wind chill factor comes into play)..
If u move 2 kms and more inland on the west coast , the min temp recorded will be lower than by the sea (eg.see Porbandar @ 11 c - the observatory must be some kms inland from the sea..may be 4 kms inland)
