SOA’s Centre for Environment and Climate (CEC) also predicted that the cold wave conditions would aggravate further between December 19 and 24 due to the combination of the north-westerly wind flow in the lower and upper atmosphere along with clear sky conditions for radiational cooling from the surface of the earth.
