Snowfall and rain over Jammu & Kashmir has reduced significantly during the last 24 hours. One or two places in Jammu & Kashmir would receive snowfall and rain during the next 24 hours. The sky will become mainly clear for the next two to three days until the arrival of next Western Disturbance.
Minimum temperatures are expected to fall by 2 to 3ºC over northwest, central and West India during the next two to three days as penetration of these winds would reach up to peninsular region towards the south and the west. Temperatures have already dipped by 2 to 3ºC in the northwest region during the last 24 hours.
Northerly winds would also keep Indo-Gangetic plains under cold wave conditions, as temperatures would remain below normal. Day's temperatures are below normal in east Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and sub-Himalayan West Bengal as medium clouds and shallow fog would obstruct sun-heating. These conditions would continue at these areas during the next 24 hours.
A cyclonic circulation over Assam and Meghalaya persists. Assam and Arunachal Pradesh would receive rain at one or two places during the next 48 hours.
A trough of low pressure area is persisting off Sri Lanka coast near Maldives. An associated cyclonic circulation over Lakshadweep and its neighbouring areas persists. This system would continue to give rain in the southern parts of the country. Southern coastal Tamil Nadu and Kerala would receive rain at one or two places during the next 24 hours. Rain would continue to occur over the Andaman & Nicobar Islands as a trough of low pressure area is hovering over south Andaman Sea as well.
