The Western Disturbance over Jammu & Kashmir is moving eastward and till the arrival of the next such weather system, weather in North India will remain under the influence of cold northerly winds that would keep weather pleasant in northwest and Indo-Gangetic plains.

It means that winds blowing from the region will be cold that would not let mercury levels rise much. Since another Western Disturbance is expected at the start of next week, possibly by 10th or 11th of March, day temperatures are unlikely to show any significant increase during the period due to continuity of winds.
Meanwhile southeasterly winds from the Bay of Bengal and their confluence with the northerly winds from North India would continue to bring rain in Central Peninsular region especially over Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, Rayalaseema and Telangana in Andhra Pradesh. There could also be light rain at isolated places over south Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Odisha during the next two days.
