New Delhi: Winter has made its presence felt across India’s high-altitude regions and plains, with noticeable drops in both maximum and minimum temperatures. Northern parts of the country, including Delhi NCR, are experiencing chilly mornings and evenings as cold winds sweep through. Dense fog has blanketed highways, reducing visibility and signaling the start of the winter season. With air conditioners now off and fans set to low, people are beginning to feel the first signs of colder days, though heavy blankets are not yet necessary.
Snowfall Expected in the Hills: Colder Days Ahead
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted imminent snowfall and rain in Jammu and Kashmir, with the possibility of light snow in certain high-altitude regions as early as today. As snowfall hits the mountains, it’s expected that colder air will descend into the plains, bringing a further chill to surrounding areas. The eastern winds influencing weather patterns in Uttar Pradesh have weakened, leading to clear skies and lower night temperatures, making for brisk, frosty evenings.

Weather experts predict a continuing drop in temperatures across North India in the coming days. Light fog and mist are expected in Uttar Pradesh during early mornings, with clear skies and daytime sunshine likely. Nighttime temperatures could see a decrease of 2–3 degrees Celsius, intensifying the winter-like feel across the region.
