Due to the change in the weather, the minimum temperature in the mountains and plains of North India has increased and the cold wave conditions have ended. However, as soon as the seasonal stir ends in North India, it is expected that from 5 and 6 February, the cold winds will start from north and west, which will make people realize the return of winter. However, now the temperature will not go to the level of 4-5 degrees, so the possibility of cold wave conditions are ruled out.
