    Cold Wave Returns to North India, Moderate Rainfall Predicted

    The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued its latest forecast, indicating that while there will be no significant weather changes across most parts of India in the next five days, certain regions will experience specific weather phenomena.

     

    One notable observation from the IMD is the return of cold wave conditions to several states in North India, including Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, and Delhi. This comes after a brief respite from the cold due to recent rainy spells. The drop in temperatures is expected to bring chilly weather back to these regions, potentially impacting daily life and agricultural activities.

     

    In terms of precipitation, the IMD predicts moderate rainfall or snowfall over Arunachal Pradesh and rainfall over Sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Mizoram, Manipur, and Tripura on February 7th. Additionally, rainfall is expected over Gangetic West Bengal and Jharkhand on the same day. Thunderstorm activity is forecasted over Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, and Nagaland on February 7th as well.

     

    Looking ahead, the IMD anticipates rainfall activity over north Peninsular India during February 9th to 11th, influenced by a trough over Peninsular India. This could bring relief to regions experiencing dry weather and benefit agricultural areas reliant on rainfall.

     

    Regarding surface winds, strong winds of 15-25 kmph are expected over the plains of Northwest India for the next three days, possibly affecting outdoor activities and transportation in the region.

     

    In addition to cold wave conditions, the IMD highlights the likelihood of dense fog in several states. Dense fog conditions are expected in Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim, and Odisha on February 7th. Similar foggy conditions are predicted in Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Tripura on February 8th and 9th, 2024. Dense fog can significantly reduce visibility, leading to travel disruptions and accidents, so caution is advised while commuting during these periods.

     

    Furthermore, the IMD forecasts a drop in minimum temperatures by 2-3°C over many parts of Northwest, East, and Central India in the next three days, with no significant change thereafter. This drop in temperatures could further intensify the cold wave conditions in affected regions, necessitating precautions to prevent cold-related illnesses.

     

    Specifically for Delhi, the IMD reports that the national capital recorded a low of 7 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, two notches below the season’s average. Strong surface winds with speeds of 20-30 kmph are expected during the day for the next two days. Wednesday’s forecast for Delhi includes mainly clear skies with mist in the morning. The minimum and maximum temperatures are expected to settle around 7 and 21 degrees Celsius, respectively. Residents of Delhi are advised to dress warmly and take precautions against cold weather conditions.

     

    The IMD’s forecast provides valuable insights into the expected weather conditions across India, helping individuals and authorities prepare for potential challenges and take appropriate measures to mitigate any adverse impacts.

  • IMD Issues ‘Cold Day Alert’ for Delhi

    IMD Issues ‘Cold Day Alert’ for Delhi

    Over the past few weeks, North India has found itself in the icy grip of an intense and bone-chilling cold spell, exacerbated by plummeting temperatures and persistent thick fog that shows no signs of abating. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has responded to the severity of the situation by issuing a ‘Cold Day Alert’ for various parts of Delhi.

     

    The persistent weather conditions are expected to continue on Tuesday, with the possibility of light rains on Wednesday and Thursday, which could further contribute to a drop in daytime temperatures. The harsh weather has significantly disrupted transportation, leading to delays in both rail and flight operations. Road travel is also being deemed unsafe, particularly during the mornings and nights, due to the poor visibility caused by the dense fog.

     

    Delhi is expected to experience light rain on both January 31 and February 1 due to the approach of a second western disturbance to the plains, according to the IMD. The formation of a wet spell over the Western Himalayan Region from January 29 to February 3 is anticipated, resulting in rainfall across various northern regions, particularly on January 30 and 31.

     

    Regions including Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh, Gilgit, Baltistan, Muzaffarabad, and Himachal Pradesh are expected to experience moderate rainfall or snowfall until February 3. Specifically, heavy rainfall or snowfall is predicted for Kashmir on January 30 and 31, and similar weather conditions are forecasted for Himachal Pradesh on January 31.

     

    Tourists enjoy snow at a ski resort after the fresh snowfall received in Gulmarg on Monday. As the 40-day harshest winter period of Chilai Kalan in Kashmir ended on Monday with scant snowfall or rain, the agricultural and horticulture experts warn of its adverse effects in coming months if there is no major snowfall in early February.

     

    Furthermore, from January 31 to February 2, there is a likelihood of light to moderate rainfall in Uttarakhand, Punjab, Chandigarh, Haryana, and western Uttar Pradesh. The forecast suggests that these weather conditions are attributed to the influence of the approaching western disturbance, bringing precipitation to the mentioned areas during the specified time frame.

     

    The adverse conditions are causing widespread inconvenience and pose challenges for daily commuting and travel plans. The harsh winter has not only disrupted normal life but has also impacted transportation systems, with rail and air travel experiencing significant delays.

     

    The IMD’s ‘Cold Day Alert’ highlights the severity of the ongoing cold wave, urging residents to take precautions and stay updated on weather forecasts. The unpredictable nature of the weather has created challenges for both authorities and the public, requiring proactive measures to mitigate the impact on daily life.
