The weather in northern India

New Delhi, While much of the south was experiencing inclement weather conditions last week, Northern India was witnessing cool and dry weather with a bit chill during the morning and evening hours. But all that changed as cyclone Nilam, after weakening into a depression, took a north-northeastely turn. The movement of the depression, which later turned into a low pressure area spun the moisture towards North India.

The already cool heavy winds present in the atmosphere due to prevalent slower northerly winds mixed with the moisture to create a weather engulfed with thick, dense fog especially during morning and evening hours to affect daily lives. Stray industrial dusts combined with vehicle pollutants made smog cover over the industrial region in Delhi and NCR and in Uttar Pradesh. Motorists on road were amazed with such a fog or smog conditions and have begun believing that winters have arrived a bit earlier this year.

However, truth be told, winter is still approaching and is yet to be announced and the weather conditions we are witnessing now are not of winter but are due to the weather system that affected the southern Peninsula last week.

The fog conditions would be there in the morning and the evening during the next couple of days but as the northerly winds would approach with an increased speed they would blow away the moisture in the winds. This will work as an antidote for the smog cover, which has poisonous contents and was also working up a green house affect to increase the minimum temperatures as the radiated heat was unable to pierce the atmosphere.

So after 48 hours, the minimum temperatures are likely to start falling again as the sky will be more open and northerly wins would once again grip northern India. The maximum temperatures would also rise a bit due to more clear sunshine.
