Monsoon has already withdrawn from most parts of Northwest India including Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, West Uttar Pradesh, North Madhya Pradesh, entire Rajasthan and Kutch region in Gujarat.
As this is the transition phase between summers and winters, difference between the maximums and minimums will also be quite high. In fact, at some places over the Northwest India, difference between these temperatures could even vary from 16 to 17 degree Celsius.
During last 24 hours from 08:30 am on Thursday, Amritsar, Hisar, Narnaul, Meerut, Dehradun, Shahjahanpur, Kanpur, Lucknow and Bahraich all have recorded minimum as 17°C whereas maximums settled between 34 and 35°C.
As per Skymet Weather, dry northwesterly winds are prevailing over northwest India and an anti-cyclone has also formed over southwest Rajasthan. Due to this anti-cyclone, dry winds from northwest will continue to prevail over entire northern plains including Central India leading to dry weather conditions.
Moreover, sky is also expected to remain clear. Days are expected to remain warmer and sunny. However, mornings and night temperatures are likely to drop gradually leading to mild winter like situation.
Due to these fall in temperatures along with clear sky and lower minimums, dew in the mornings is also likely. Moreover, at some places haze will also start appearing in morning hours leading to reduced visibility.
However, fog formation over the northwest region of India is still not expected as of now. Generally, fog formation occurs when temperatures go beneath 10 degrees which may be at the end of the month over some parts of northwest India like Punjab and Haryana.
Furthermore, people are advised to stay safe as due to the sudden change in the weather with mornings being cooler and afternoons still warmer, cold, cough and viral fever are more common.
