Why Delhi feels freezing even when temperatures stay in double digits - India Today
A fresh western disturbance is set to impact large parts of North India, bringing colder weather, dense fog, and widespread rainfall. Weather experts say the system will lower temperatures across Delhi-NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, and parts of Rajasthan, intensifying winter conditions. Hill states such as Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh are likely to receive snowfall in higher regions, while light to moderate rain may occur in the plains. Morning and night fog is expected to disrupt road, rail, and air travel, especially in the Indo-Gangetic belt. In central India, including parts of Chhattisgarh, a slight dip in temperatures may also be felt. The India Meteorological Department has advised people to remain cautious, as cold wave conditions could persist for several days. Farmers and travelers are urged to stay updated with local weather alerts as winter tightens its grip across the region.
