New Delhi, Northwest and Indo-Gangetic plains will be witnessing strong northerly winds during the next couple of days. Wind chill is likely to be more severe as these icy winds have picked speed and will be blowing at about 15 to 25 kmph during this period.
Due to intense winds over both the plains, the chill in the air could even be felt during the day time when temperature remains high. Maximum temperatures or the day time temperatures are already below normal.
Intense winds, melting of snow as well as below normal temperatures would create severe cold conditions that may prevail over these regions during the next 48 hours.
The weather condition would change particularly over northwest plains from December 7 onwards as a Western Disturbance is about to arrive over Jammu & Kashmir. The weather system has moved from northeast Afghanistan and adjoining Pakistan to north Pakistan while moving in a east-northeastwards.
The weather system would put a break on the northerly winds and raise the maximum and minimum temperatures to bring relief to people in northwest India over Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and west Uttar Pradesh. But they have to wait for such relief for another two days.
Rain is likely to reduce over south Peninsula especially along the south east coast in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu during the next 48 hours. But before that, coastal Andhra Pradesh and Rayalaseema will receive rain at many places in the coming 24 hours.
A few places in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Lakshadweep will also receive rain during this period. The cyclonic circulation over south interior Andhra Pradesh and adjoining Tamil Nadu is bringing rain to these areas. Nellore in Andhra Pradesh has recorded 113 mm of rain during the last 24 hours.
A trough of low pressure area has formed and extends from Lakshadweep to east-central Arabian Sea. Under its influence, rain would occur at one or two places over Maharashtra, Goa and Karnataka during the next 24 to 48 hours.
