Since the beginning of December, Delhi and its adjoining regions have witnessed three episodes when the mercury levels reached to single digits and again increased to double digits. In the last 24 hours too, Delhi’s Safdarjung and Palam observatory recorded the minimums at 11 and 9 degrees Celsius respectively.
As per Skymet Weather, this see-saw in the temperatures was due to the approach of Western Disturbances that continued to prevail in the Western Himalayan region in an interval of 4-5 days. At present, the ongoing Western Disturbance has moved away eastwards and the winds are once again blowing from the snow-clad mountains and are expected to continue for another 4-5 days.

In the wake of this, the temperatures of almost the entire northwest plains are likely to drop by 3-4 degrees in next 3-4 days. Thus, the cold-wave conditions may also make a comeback in parts of North Rajasthan, Haryana and at isolated pockets of Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, and West Uttar Pradesh.
In a nutshell, the winter chill may make a comeback over these places. The period between December 21 and January 10 is the coldest time between the northwestern plains and central India. During this period, it is expected that the temperatures will continue to remain at the lowest.
