No change in temperatures seen in north India
Temperatures in north India are unlikely to witness any major fall or gain in the next two days. Day temperatures will remain below normal in most parts of north India even though there is clear sunshine. This is because cool northwesterly winds are not letting the warmth remain on the surface.
Northerly winds have led to a fall in night temperatures recorded at Palam Observatory in Delhi. It recorded a minimum of 12.8 degrees on Monday after 14 degrees on Sunday. Night temperatures in Delhi as well as northwest plains will remain unchanged in the next two days.
Day temperatures are low by 5 to 7 degrees in Rajasthan and 2 to 4 degrees in other parts of northwest plains over Punjab, Haryana and west Uttar Pradesh. Even the minimum are below the normal here.
