In Delhi, residents will experience slightly warmer temperatures, making the cold feel less severe. The capital has seen below-normal temperatures for most of December, but on Monday, the maximum temperature rose above the seasonal average, providing respite from the winter chill during daytime. This change is attributed to a Western Disturbance passing through the region. However, temperatures are expected to drop again starting Wednesday, though no severe cold wave is forecast for next week.
Tuesday will see partly cloudy skies, with surface winds reaching 15–25 km/h, conditions favorable for dense fog formation. Maximum temperatures may reach 24°C, while minimums could drop to 9°C. From December 10–14, partly cloudy skies are expected, with highs between 23–25°C and lows of 7–10°C.
Fog and Cold Alerts in North & East India
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued dense fog alerts for eight cities in northern and eastern India. These include:
- Bihar: Patna, Purnia, Kishanganj
- Jharkhand: Ranchi, Jamshedpur
- Uttar Pradesh: Lucknow, Kanpur, Prayagraj
Morning travelers are advised to wear warm clothing and exercise caution, as the dense fog may significantly affect visibility and road traffic. The cold wave could also impact health, especially in rural areas.
In Himachal Pradesh, yellow alerts for dense fog are active in Bilaspur and Mandi, while the rest of the week is expected to remain dry. Uttarakhand may witness icy winds in areas like Nainital and Mussoorie, causing sharp drops in temperature and an intense cold feel.
Rainfall in Eastern & Southern States
Eastern and southern India are set to experience rain showers:
- West Bengal & Odisha: Cloudy skies with rain likely in the next 24 hours.
- Tamil Nadu & Puducherry: Rain forecast until December 11. Fishermen are advised not to venture into the sea during this period.
