Weather Forecast: Following a period of cool weather, temperatures in Delhi and the NCR region are gradually rising. According to the Meteorological Department, from today, March 9th, to March 13th, Delhi's maximum temperature may range between 31 and 35 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature is likely to be between 13 and 19 degrees Celsius. Partly cloudy skies are also anticipated during this period. Skymet predicts a rapid temperature increase next week in Delhi, leading to noticeable warmth and potentially making outdoor activities in the afternoon uncomfortable.
Western Disturbance to Cause Weather Changes in North India
A western disturbance is expected to approach the hills of North India on March 9th. This is likely to cause rain and snowfall in the mountainous regions of Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu and Kashmir. The Meteorological Department has stated that light rain and snowfall may occur in the higher reaches of Lahaul Spiti, Chamba, Kangra, Kinnaur, and Kullu districts on March 9th. Jammu and Kashmir also anticipates weather changes from March 10th, with potential snowfall in the valley and higher altitude areas until March 14th.
Cold and Rain Impacting Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh
Madhya Pradesh has experienced a sudden temperature drop during March, leading to increased cold. Minimum temperatures in some areas have reached 8 degrees Celsius. According to Bhopal-based meteorologists, this temperature drop is attributed to the snowfall in North India. However, a change in wind direction is expected from Saturday onwards, leading to a likely temperature increase.
Uttar Pradesh is expected to experience rain from March 10th to 13th. While cloudy conditions will prevail on March 9th, light to moderate rain is forecast for 12 districts of Uttar Pradesh on March 13th. Light winds will maintain a cool feel, but a decrease in wind speed may lead to a subsequent rise in both day and night temperatures.
Today's Weather in Delhi and Surrounding Cities
Today's weather in Delhi and surrounding cities is expected to be relatively warm. Delhi's minimum temperature is likely to be 15 degrees Celsius, and the maximum temperature may reach 31 degrees Celsius. Similar temperatures, around 30 degrees Celsius, are anticipated in Noida, Ghaziabad, Lucknow, Jaipur, and Patna. Mumbai's maximum temperature may reach 37 degrees Celsius, while Jammu is expected to have a maximum of 25 degrees Celsius.
Snowfall Likely in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir
Snowfall is predicted in the higher mountainous regions of Uttarakhand within the next 24 hours. In Himachal Pradesh, the activation of the western disturbance may lead to continued rain and snowfall for the next five days. Jammu and Kashmir anticipates weather changes from March 10th, with potential snowfall in valley and high-altitude areas, which could affect daily life.
