New Delhi: People living in north India will get a respite from the biting cold after India Meteorological Department (IMD) said that temperature will rise significantly post January 3. However, heavy snow/rainfall is likely over Jammu and Kashmir next week.
“The temperatures are very likely to increase gradually by three to five degrees Celsius over these regions during the next three days and no significant change (is expected) thereafter for the subsequent three days,” the IMD was quoted as saying by news agency IANS.
“Cold wave to severe cold wave conditions are prevailing over many parts of the plains of northwest India and adjoining central India. These are likely to continue over Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi, west Uttar Pradesh and north Rajasthan during the next 24 hours and abate thereafter,” it said.
Meanwhile, a Western Disturbance as a cyclonic circulation lies over Afghanistan and its neighbourhood at the middle and upper tropospheric levels, IANS said.
