Factors leading to sudden chill
After southwest monsoon withdraws, parts of North India and Central India come under the influence of western disturbances that moves towards east from west. The disturbance result in light to moderate rain in Delhi and hilly states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. It leads to snow in Jammu and Kashmir area.
Additionally, persistent northwesterly winds from the hills of Jammu and Kashmir and the position of the sun having moved towards the south usually makes the days colder than before.
