The Western Disturbance is moving away eastwards, but it will continue to give scattered rain and snow in Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh. Isolated activities are likely in Uttarakhand until the morning of February 5. Meanwhile, the wind direction will change to north-westerly over the plains of North India by afternoon or evening of February 5. Until then, the minimums are likely to increase by 1-2 degrees in Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and West Uttar Pradesh. Moderate to dense fog is also likely in one or two pockets of Punjab, Haryana and West Uttar Pradesh.

Talking about Central India, a Trough is extending from Jharkhand to Vidarbha across Chhattisgarh. The humid winds from the Bay of Bengal are increasing moisture. Thus, we expect scattered light to moderate rain with isolated hailstorm activities in East Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Meanwhile, isolated light rain is likely in Vidarbha. The weather of Rajasthan, Gujarat, West Madhya Pradesh and rest Maharashtra, however, will remain dry. In the meantime, the day and night temperatures of Gujarat, West Madhya Pradesh and North Konkan and Goa as well as North Madhya Maharashtra may drop by 2-3 degrees. The temperatures in Mumbai may fall by couple of degrees.

On the other hand, the weather of East Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal may remain dry. Kolkata may observe partly cloudy to cloudy sky. Moreover, a Cyclonic Circulation is over Assam, thus short spell of rain may occur in East Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.

Down South, humid winds from the Bay of Bengal are feeding moisture over Coastal Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Thus, we expect light to moderate rain in North Coastal Andhra Pradesh. Isolated light showers are likely in Coastal Tamil Nadu as well. Meanwhile due to the Trough extending from Interior Karnataka to Madhya Maharashtra, isolated light rain is likely in Kerala. Chennai may experience partly cloudy sky with thunderstorm.
