iGrain India - The weather forecast for the first few days of the new year suggests a mix of cold, wet, and foggy conditions across different regions of India. The primary influencing factor is the activity of a Western Disturbance.
- In the northwestern region, a significant temperature drop has occurred, with heavy snowfall in the Himalayan states like Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and the Darjeeling division of West Bengal. Rainfall is expected in the region, with varying intensities—some areas will experience light rain, while others might witness heavier showers. In high-altitude mountainous areas, snowfall is likely to continue.
- In northern and eastern India, dense fog and mist are affecting visibility, especially during the early morning and evening hours. The cold wave in these regions is becoming more prominent, leading to further drops in day temperatures. This is particularly noticeable in Delhi-NCR, where fog will persist throughout the week. Cold conditions are likely to intensify due to the combination of the cold wave and Western Disturbance.
- The southern part of India, specifically Tamil Nadu (NS:TNNP), is likely to experience rainfall due to a cyclonic circulation influencing the weather there.
