The weather forecast for the next few days indicates significant changes in various regions of India due to the influence of a western disturbance. Here's a breakdown of the expected weather patterns:
Western Himalayan Region (11-12 January): The western disturbance is expected to bring light to moderate rain, along with the possibility of hail, especially in the western Himalayan region. This is likely to result in chilly conditions.
Northeastern Region: Arunachal Pradesh and Assam have already received rainfall recently. On 8 January, a hailstorm accompanied by rain occurred in the sub-Himalayan region of West Bengal, Sikkim, and Assam.
Northwestern Plains: Light to moderate rain is expected in the plains of northwestern India, including Delhi NCR, where dense fog in the mornings and evenings has been affecting air and train operations. This fog is also detrimental to Rabi crops. The dense fog could continue in the coming days.
Rajasthan (11-12 January): A significant shift in the weather is expected in Rajasthan due to the western disturbance. After high temperatures in the state, regions like Jodhpur, Bikaner, and Shekhawati may experience good rainfall on 11 January, which will continue in areas like Jaipur, Bharpur, and Bikaner division on 12 January. This rainfall could be beneficial for Rabi crops like wheat, gram, mustard, and barley.
Cold Wave: Despite sunshine during the day, a cold wave will persist in several regions, including Rajasthan, where temperatures have dropped to around 5 degrees Celsius in some areas. The continuing cold wind will exacerbate the chilly conditions.
This dynamic weather pattern, driven by the western disturbance, will bring rain, fog, and colder conditions to multiple states, impacting agricultural activities and daily life.
