Cold is increasing due to snowfall in the mountains
Cold winds coming from the slopes of the mountains create cold wave conditions. This time there was moderate to heavy snowfall in the mountains twice. Himachal Pradesh, Jammu Kashmir and Uttarakhand were more affected. Despite this, the minimum temperature remained above normal. The reason for this disparity is dense fog. Dense to very dense fog occurred regularly during the first week of January. The depth of the fog layer and its duration prevent a drop in night temperatures. Now the minimum temperature is likely to fall for the next 3 days. The minimum temperature may drop to 6 degrees. However, a western disturbance may change the wind pattern. Due to this, there will be rain and thundershowers in North India including Delhi between January 10 and 12. These conditions will prevent a rapid drop in temperatures even during the second week of January.
