As winter tightens its grip on the northern regions of India, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has reported a significant drop in minimum temperatures during the last 24 hours. According to the latest update, several states, including Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, and West Uttar Pradesh, witnessed minimum temperatures ranging from 6-9°C.
North India Shivers: 6-9°C Minimum Temperatures
The IMD’s observations reveal that the mercury dipped to 6-9°C in most parts of Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, and Delhi. Residents in these areas woke up to chilly mornings, with the cold spell affecting routine activities. The winter season often brings such temperature variations, and residents must take necessary precautions to stay warm and healthy.
In addition to the aforementioned regions, West Uttar Pradesh also experienced a similar dip in temperature, making it a widespread phenomenon across the northern plains. The IMD emphasizes the need for residents to stay updated on weather forecasts and be prepared for the ongoing cold conditions.
Isolated Cold Pockets in East Uttar Pradesh and North-West Madhya Pradesh
While most of the northern plains experienced minimum temperatures between 6-9°C, isolated parts of East Uttar Pradesh and North-West Madhya Pradesh recorded even lower temperatures, ranging from 10-12°C. This indicates localized variations in the cold spell, emphasizing the need for region-specific weather awareness.
Residents in these areas are advised to take necessary precautions to combat the cold weather, including dressing in layers, using adequate heating, and staying informed about local weather updates.
Eastern Regions Experience 13-15°C Minimum Temperatures
As the cold spell extended beyond the northern plains, the IMD reported minimum temperatures of 13-15°C in parts of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, interior Odisha, and West Bengal. While not as extreme as some northern regions, these temperatures still indicate a notable drop, impacting daily life and highlighting the diverse weather conditions across the country.
Residents in these eastern regions are encouraged to stay vigilant and adapt to the changing weather patterns, ensuring their well-being during this winter season.
