New Delhi: National Capital and its neighboring areas witnessed light rainfall this morning, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting a generally cloudy sky throughout the day, accompanied by intermittent light rain showers and gusty winds.
Following recent wet weather in North India caused by a western disturbance, the IMD anticipates another disturbance to impact weather conditions in mountainous regions this weekend. According to IMD Scientist Naresh, "Another Western Disturbance will start affecting from tomorrow, leading to heavy snowfall and rainfall in the mountain regions. Rainfall and snowfall may be expected between 75 to 100 percent of the stations."
On February 4, snowfall is expected in Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh, while Punjab, Haryana, Western Uttar Pradesh, and North-West Madhya Pradesh may experience light hailstorms.
"Whenever there is a Western Disturbance, it leads to changes in wind patterns, resulting in a rising tendency in temperature. So we do not expect the temperature to drop in north-west India and central India. Temperatures will increase during the morning. Dense fog may be expected in the morning in isolated pockets in Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi NCR," stated Mr. Naresh.
He added that there would be no prevalence of cold wave conditions in north India in the next few days due to the western disturbance.
"There will not be a cold day, as temperatures will not drop in the next few days. So we are not expecting a cold day in the next few days. We are also not expecting a cold wave in the next 5-7 days," he said.
Regarding the weather pattern in the national capital, Lokesh mentioned, "In Delhi, there might be light rainfall from February 3 to February 4."
