New Delhi: As November begins, a noticeable chill may still be missing from many states, but mountainous regions are starting to experience the early signs of winter. Despite the recent Diwali celebrations, Delhi NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Bihar continue to feel the heat, with temperatures higher than usual during the day. Meanwhile, Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and other northern hill stations are beginning to embrace the cold. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), this growing chill in the mountains will gradually impact the plains.
Delhi NCR’s Weather Forecast: Pollution Adds to Daytime Heat
In Delhi NCR, the daytime heat lingers, leaving residents craving the typical November coolness. On November 2, 2024, the IMD expects clear skies with temperatures reaching up to 33°C, while nights remain mild with a low of 19°C. Noida, bordering Delhi, will experience similar conditions, with maximum temperatures around 32°C and a minimum of 20°C. Despite the clear skies, pollution remains a concern, creating a blanket of haze in the mornings and evenings. The situation intensifies discomfort, as poor air quality mixes with lingering warmth.
Rajasthan’s Gradual Dip in Temperatures and Evening Cold Winds
Post-Diwali, Rajasthan has started showing a gradual shift in weather patterns. While afternoons are marked by strong sunlight, evenings bring a noticeable chill, with cold winds sweeping through the state. The IMD predicts a potential cold wave in the coming days, especially during the evening hours. This transition marks the beginning of Rajasthan’s winter season, likely to intensify in the weeks ahead.
Bihar’s Chilling Forecast and Potential Rain in Northern Districts
In Bihar, winter is still in its early stages, but colder days are on the horizon. Northern districts, including Supaul, Araria, Kishanganj, Madhepura, Saharsa, and Purnia, might experience a dip in temperatures over the coming days. Residents in these areas should brace for progressively chillier weather as winter approaches.
Madhya Pradesh Update: Winter’s First Signs in the State
In Madhya Pradesh, the winter chill has also started to make its presence known, particularly in northern and hilly regions. Cities like Bhopal and Indore are beginning to feel a slight drop in temperature during the evenings. The IMD predicts a gradual fall in temperatures throughout the state, with cold winds likely to pick up, signaling the onset of winter.
Rain Alerts for South India: Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Puducherry
While northern and central states anticipate cooler days, the IMD has issued rain warnings for Kerala, Mahi, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal. A yellow alert is in effect for these regions on November 2 and 3, 2024, indicating moderate to heavy rainfall. Residents in these areas are advised to be cautious, as the rainy weather may lead to localized flooding and travel disruptions.
With northern India’s chill gradually making its way to the plains, November brings diverse weather experiences across the country from the warmth lingering in central and northern states to the winter onset in hill regions and rain-soaked days in the south.
