The official said the night temperature in Keylong in Lahaul and Spiti district fell further by 3.3 degrees from Saturday's minus 7.1 degrees.
But day temperatures across the state were up by an average of two to five degrees due to the dry weather.
The maximum temperature was 11.5 degrees in Shimla on Saturday, while it was 17.8 degrees in Dharamsala and 17.8 degrees in Solan.
