As per Skymet, the maximum temperature over several areas had dropped due to the rain on January 26, 27 and 28. Post which, cold north-westerlies from hilly areas started blowing over the region, which is not allowing day temperatures to increase despite clear and sunny weather.
We can expect some relief from the cold weather conditions from January 3 onwards, as a fresh Western Disturbance is approaching North India and is likely to affect Jammu and Kashmir by Januray 2.
This weather system is expected to cause some weather over Uttar Pradesh on January 3 and 4 and also there will be change in the wind pattern, resulting in rise in maximum temperatures.
