Winter Chill Tightens Grip Over North

Winter has officially set in across North India after recent snowfall in the hills and rain in the plains.

Delhi recorded 12.7°C for the second day, while Lodi Road dipped to 11.2°C, the lowest of the season.

Amritsar, Hisar, Karnal, and Kanpur saw single-digit lows, with Srinagar touching freezing point at 0°C. Strengthening winds from snow-clad regions are carrying a distinct winter chill.

A developing anticyclone over Rajasthan will push cold winds into Madhya Pradesh and North Gujarat, dropping temperatures further in the coming days.

Clear skies and calm nights are expected to aid radiational cooling, making the northern plains colder as single-digit temperatures spread wider next week.
