Night Temperatures to fall in North India

The Western Disturbance in Jammu & Kashmir is moving eastward and is likely to leave the Western Himalayan region in the next 24 hours. Weather in Delhi and other parts of northwest plains will soon come in the grip of northerly winds. Several places in Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand have received rain and snow during the past two days. Kalpa, Kullu, Keylong, Manali and capital Shimla have also witnessed some rain. Manali has received 11 mm of rain in the last 24 hours.

Winds coming from these places would drop the night temperatures in Delhi and adjoining plains during the next 48 hours. Meanwhile, day temperatures that had dropped below normal in the past two days would increase as sky will be clear in these parts. Some places could also observe fog till late morning hours, thus maintaining the below or near normal day temperatures.

Fog may also intensify over northwest plains in Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and west Uttar Pradesh during the next two days. The visibility could drop to zero meters again tomorrow at several places. Rail and air operations would continue to be affected.
