Many parts of Northwest India are experiencing Cold Wave conditions since last one week or so. Minimum temperatures soared to their lowest and people across Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and West Uttar Pradesh saw the worst of winters.
Now, due to the approach of a fresh Western Disturbance, the cold northerly winds will be soon replaced by relatively warmer winds from south-east direction. Minimum temperatures are also expected to increase by one to two degree Celsius by the next 24 hours, thus leading to abatement of Cold Wave conditions from many parts of Northwest India. In fact, last 24 hours have already recorded increase in night temperatures.
Due to increased humidity and decrease in wind speed, chances of formation of fog increases. Thus, many parts of Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and West Uttar Pradesh may experience moderate fog with dense to very dense fog at isolated pockets.
Weather is expected to remain dry until January 5. However, scattered rains may commence by the night of January 5 or morning of January 6 over many parts of Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, West Uttar Pradesh and North Rajasthan.
These rains will remain for a short duration and cover only small areas, but it may help in reducing pollution over Delhi and NCR. So, we can say that Delhi can breathe easily once again due to decrease in pollution by January 7.
