Intense cold in north India, relief unlikely in next 48 hours | India News - The Times of India
North India continues to experience harsh winter conditions as an intense cold wave affects several states, including Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan. Weather experts have indicated that there is little chance of immediate relief over the next two days, keeping temperatures unusually low for this time of year. Dense fog during early morning and late-night hours has disrupted road, rail, and air travel, causing delays and reduced visibility across major cities. Minimum temperatures have dropped significantly below normal levels, increasing health risks for vulnerable groups such as children, elderly people, and outdoor workers. Authorities have advised residents to take necessary precautions, including limiting outdoor exposure during extreme cold hours. While daytime sunshine offers brief comfort, it has not been sufficient to offset the freezing nights. Meteorological officials suggest that weather conditions may gradually improve only after the cold spell weakens later in the week, depending on wind patterns and western disturbances.
