Headline: Cold Wave Grips Northern India; Rain Expected in Eastern and Southern Regions
New Delhi, India – Northern India continues to shiver under a severe cold wave, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issuing warnings for several states. The national capital, Delhi, is experiencing a sharp drop in temperature, compounded by pollution and dense fog. The IMD forecasts that the cold conditions will persist in Delhi for the next few days, with winds further intensifying the chill.
Uttar Pradesh is also bracing for an intensified cold wave, starting today and lasting for the next two days. A further drop in temperature is expected next week due to westerly winds.
While North India battles the cold, the IMD predicts rainfall in eastern and southern parts of the country. West Bengal and Odisha are expected to experience cloudy skies and light to moderate rainfall today. Tamil Nadu and Puducherry are also likely to receive rainfall until November 11th.
The IMD has issued cold wave alerts for eight cities across India, including Purnia, Kishanganj, and Patna in Bihar; Ranchi in Jharkhand; and Lucknow, Kanpur, Agra, and Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh. Residents in these areas are advised to take necessary precautions to protect themselves from the extreme cold.
