Weather Update: The weather across the country has suddenly changed, bringing a mild chill to the plains. This change in North India's weather is primarily due to snowfall in the mountainous regions. The high peaks of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand have been covered in a white blanket of snow, directly impacting the plains. The effects of snowfall in the mountains are now visible from Delhi-NCR to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
According to the Meteorological Department, heavy rainfall is expected in districts like Pithoragarh, Bageshwar, and Chamoli in Uttarakhand, and snowfall in the higher altitudes. The effects of this will be felt more strongly in the form of cold in the coming days.
Fresh spells of snowfall across hill states
Fresh spells of snowfall across the hill states have turned several regions of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand into white wonderlands, while also disrupting normal life. From the revered Hemkund Sahib in Chamoli to the tribal valleys of Lahaul†Spiti and Pangi, an early onset of winter has left roads blocked, temperatures plunging below freezing, and orchards damaged.
Rain and cool winds over the past few days have brought a drop in temperatures, providing relief from the heat and forcing people to turn off their ACs and coolers. According to the Meteorological Department, this change in weather will continue for the coming days.
Temps will continue to drop in Delhi-NCR
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast, after light rain in Delhi-NCR, the weather is expected to clear up, but temperatures will continue to drop, increasing the chill in the mornings and evenings.
The rain that has been continuing for the past few days in Uttar Pradesh is about to stop. According to the Meteorological Department, the weather will remain dry from Thursday, although a mild chill will persist in the mornings and evenings.
Meanwhile, cold has also arrived in Bihar. While light rain is expected in some parts of the state, temperatures are expected to drop by two to three degrees Celsius from tomorrow, leading to chilly mornings. The overflowing of rivers in Bihar this October is also a topic of discussion.
Meanwhile, in South and East India, moderate rainfall is expected in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Goa, Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. Apart from this, rain along with cyclonic winds is also forecast in Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and West Bengal, for which the Meteorological Department has advised to remain alert.
