From past many days, northwestern plains of India have been witnessing clear sky with bright sunshine. This has led to significant rise in mercury, resulting in warm and dry weather across the region.
The reason for this rise in temperatures can be attributed to successive Western Disturbances affecting the Western Himalayas. In wake of this, warm and humid southwesterly winds were prevailing over most parts. Due to these winds, both day and night temperatures were settling above normal by 5 to 6 degrees.
Now, according to Skymet Weather, the Western Disturbance over East Jammu and Kashmir is moving away eastwards. With this, dry and cold northwesterly winds will commence over the region. Due to these cold winds, both maximum and minimum temperatures will decrease by 3 to 4 degrees over the entire plains.
Hence, warm days and cool nights are ahead for northwestern plains including Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, North Rajasthan and West Uttar Pradesh till the weekend.
According to meteorologists at Skymet Weather, another feeble Western Disturbance will start affecting the Western Himalayas by February 26. In wake of this system, the wind pattern will change once again from cold winds to humid winds. This will again lead to rise in temperatures over the entire plains.
