[Hindi] शिमला में शीतलहर के बीच इस सप्ताह फिर से बर्फबारी के आसार
मौसमी हलचलों के लिहाज़ से दिसम्बर बेहद शांत रहा और उत्तर भारत के मैदानी राज्यों के साथ-साथ पर्वतीय भागों में भी विशेष बारिश या बर्फबारी देखने को नहीं मिली। हालांकि शिमला में चमत्कारिक तौर पर क्रिसमस के दिन बर्फबारी दर्ज की गई। चमत्कारिक इसलिए क्योंकि पिछले 24 वर्षों से शिमला में क्रिसमस के दिन बर्फबारी देखने को नहीं मिली।
उसके बाद पहली जनवरी को फिर से हिमाचल प्रदेश की राजधानी शिमला में बर्फबारी हुई। नए वर्ष में शुरू हुई बारिश और बर्फबारी सर्दी के इस सीजन का पहला भारी हिमपात था। इस समय शिमला में मौसम साफ है। हालांकि बीते दिनों की भारी बर्फबारी के चलते शहरों में शीतलहर ने लोगों का बुरा हाल कर रखा है। बुधवार को न्यूनतम तापमान शून्य से 3.2 डिग्री सेल्सियस नीचे रिकॉर्ड किया गया। भीषण शीतलहर का आलम यह है कि अब तक इसने लगभग 10 लोगों की जान ले ली है।
वर्तमान मौसमी परिदृश्य के अनुसार शिमला में जल्द शीतलहर से राहत के आसार नहीं हैं। अगले 24 घंटों तक मौसम में किसी विशेष बदलाव की भी संभावना नहीं है। हालांकि एक नया पश्चिमी विक्षोभ 14 जनवरी को उत्तर भारत के पर्वतीय राज्यों के करीब पहुँचने वाला है। इस सिस्टम के चलते जम्मू कश्मीर के साथ-साथ हिमाचल प्रदेश के भी कुछ हिस्सों में वर्षा और बर्फबारी का नया दौर शुरू हो सकता है।
शिमला में 14 जनवरी की रात से फिर से बारिश और हिमपात का सिलसिला देखने को मिलेगा। हिमाचल के इस सुंदर शहर में 14 और 15 जनवरी को भारी बारिश और बर्फबारी होने की संभावना है। हालांकि पर्यटक इस बर्फबारी का आनंद उठा सकते हैं लेकिन सावधानी के साथ क्योंकि भारी बर्फबारी से कई सड़कों के बंद होने की भी आशंका बनी रहती है। हिमस्खलन की भी संभावना है।

Very cold nights ahead for Uttar Pradesh, Bihar
In the last 24 hours, temperatures in East Uttar Pradesh and Bihar have dropped significantly by 2-3°C and most of the places in Central India are also under the mark of 2-3°C. This fall in temperature is due to the dry and cold north-northwesterly winds that are currently blowing in the region and are likely to prevail for another couple of days.
Skymet Weather also expects that cold wave conditions will persist in many parts of East Uttar Pradesh and Bihar and soon cover some parts of West Bengal. East India will continue to witness a drop in temperatures and join the bandwagon of cold wave condition of Central India. West Bengal will be affected by cold winds so temperatures will drop there as well.
At present many parts of northwest plains and parts of Maharashtra and Saurashtra & Kutch are under cold wave conditions, so in next 24 hours it will be safe to say that almost entire North India will witness winter chill.
But this drop in temperature will be short lived i.e. this drop in temperatures will last for next 2-3 days. Thereafter, temperatures over northwest plains will start increasing.
During this time of the year, temperatures usually drop drastically and people living in the open should find night shelters or use blankets to keep them warm & safe.

Threat of crop damage looms large as frost covers Northwest India
Winter chill has intensified across the plains of Northwest India in the last few days. This has left most parts of the region reeling under severe cold wave conditions.
Now, the dipping mercury have led to the formation of ground frost over several parts of Punjab, Haryana, Delhi NCR, North Rajasthan and parts of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.
According to Skymet Weather, night temperatures across these places are settling below 5 degrees. In fact, some places are also recording sub-zero temperatures. Due to such cold temperatures, the dew on the ground freezes and forms a thin layer of ice known as frost.
This frost poses intense threat to the farmers as it has the potential to damage the standing crop. The layer of ice suffocates the crop and do not let plants breathe.
Though there is some relief on the cards but entire let up is not likely any soon. A fresh Western Disturbance is approaching Jammu and Kashmir and is likely to affect the weather by January 14.
As a result, minimums will increase over Punjab, Haryana, Delhi-NCR and Rajasthan, leading to abatement of frost conditions. Meanwhile, mercury will continue to settle on the lower side over West Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh that will continue with frost.

Cold wave conditions intensify in North India
Almost the entire northern part of the country is engulfed under cold wave conditions. However, a few central and eastern region of India is also gripped by the cold wave.
Though, with a marginal rise in temperatures, cold wave in Delhi has been abated but still, many parts of the country particularly, Haryana, Punjab, north, and southeast Rajasthan including East and Central Uttar Pradesh are still under the influence of cold wave.
Many parts of Madhya Pradesh and few parts of Bihar are also gripped under cold wave conditions. In all these states, temperatures have dropped down to zero or even below the zero level mark.
Have a look at the various regions that have observed a close to zero degree celsius temperatures during the last 24 hours:
The reason for the ongoing icy and chilly weather conditions over the northern plains can be attributed to the dry and cool north-northwesterly winds traveling from this region towards Central India. Due to this, the plains of northern India has been gripped under icy and chilly breezes.
As per Skymet Weather, now, a Western Disturbance is likely to approach the Western Himalayas. Moreover, a cyclonic circulation has also developed over Central Pakistan which is expected to move towards northwest plains.
This is hence likely to lend a hand in leading to rising minimums. In the wake of this, minimum temperatures in most parts of Haryana, Punjab and Delhi also including North Rajasthan are expected to scale up by 3-4 degrees.
This would further lead to abatement of cold wave conditions from the aforesaid regions within next 48 hours. However, isolated places over East Rajasthan is predicted to take another two days to witness a rise in the temperatures. Till then ground frost is likely to persist over all these areas.

Wintry chill grips Kolkata
Kolkata has been witnessing unusual wintry conditions for the last 24 hours. In wake of this maximum temperatures have been settling below normal by 2-3 degrees. However, it is the minimums that have gone down significantly.
On Saturday, the state capital recorded night temperatures at 11.9°C, which is very rare for the city like Kolkata. The average minimum temperature for Kolkata during the month of January stands at 14°C.
According to Skymet Weather, dry and cool northwesterly winds from the snow-clad Himalayas are reaching up to Kolkata and adjoining areas. Moreover, an anti-cyclone marked over Madhya Pradesh is strengthening these chilly.
As a result, mercury over the city has gone down significantly. Moreover, no relief is in offing from the chilly nights during the next 24 to 48 hours.
Weathermen predict, night temperature over Kolkata and adjoining areas are to drop further during the next 24 hours. These moderate cool winds will continue to prevail over the region during the afternoon hours as well, thus, day maximums will also a take marginal dip.

Snowfall in Shimla this weekend after severe cold wave
The month of December was mild and not much weather activity was observed over the plains as well as the hills of North India. However, on Christmas day, the residents of Shimla witnessed snow. It was magical in its own sense as the city had not seen a white Christmas in 24 years.
Thereafter, during the first week of January, snow once again made an appearance over the capital city of Himachal Pradesh. In fact, this was the first heavy snow spell observed over the city during this winter season.
At present, the weather has cleared up. However, severe cold wave conditions have been wreaking havoc over Shimla. In fact, the minimum temperature settled at -3.2 degrees yesterday. So much so that ten people lost their lives due to severe cold wave conditions.
There has been some relief in terms of temperatures and the minimum has increased to -0.6 degrees today.
However, cold wave conditions continue to grip Shimla and its adjoining areas. Now, during the next 24 hours, weather conditions will continue to remain the same.
A fresh Western Disturbance is approaching the Western Himalayas on January 14. Thus, rain and snow is likely over Jammu and Kashmir as well as parts of Himachal Pradesh. Not only this, Shimla is expected to get a snowy surprise on January 14 night onward.
On January 14 and 15, moderate to heavy rain and snow is expected over the capital city of Himachal Pradesh. Thus, residents are expected to enjoy some more snow in the coming weekend.

Winter rain likely over Delhi, Haryana, Punjab
Plains of North India are all set to witness second spell of winters rains during the next 24 hours. According to Skymet Weather, Punjab is likely to see light to moderate rains over many parts, while scattered showers are likely over Haryana.
Rains will start making appearance from late night hours of Saturday and will pick up pace by January 15. Weathermen predict the rainy spell to continue till January 16.
Weather over Delhi-NCR will remain mainly cloudy with chances of one or two short spells of rain and thundershowers over some parts on Monday.
These approaching rains can be attributed to the fresh Western Disturbance over Jammu and Kashmir and its induced cyclonic circulation over Central Pakistan and adjoining Punjab region.
These systems have also changed the weather pattern over the region. Cold and dry northwesterly winds are now replaced by relatively warm and humid southeasterlies.
These winds will now increase the moisture content in the atmosphere, leading to gradual increase in the minimum temperatures. As a result, cold wave conditions are likely to abate from most parts of the region barring few areas.
Not only this, fog will also make a comeback and shallow to moderate fog may occur over the areas of Punjab, Haryana and Delhi-NCR.

Light rain in Punjab to maintain the wintery chill
Since the beginning of January many parts of Punjab have been witnessing on and off light rain during the active western disturbance which affected hills and adjoining Punjab around January 5-6. Good rains were witnessed by Punjab last night once again as a cyclonic circulation has developed and we expected light to moderate rains at many district of Punjab in next 24-48 hours.
Whenever an active western disturbance approaches Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh simultaneously an induced cyclonic circulation developed over Punjab which gives good rain over the state.
Due to these rains maximum temperatures of many districts of Punjab will witness significant fall but severe winter chill which was witness since last few days will not be there as the minimums are expected to rise further. This rise in temperature is due to the cloud cover and absence of icy cold winds.
After January 16 weather will clear up and minimum temperatures will once again witness a fall but this time around the fall of temperatures will be marginal above in order of 1-2°C. These rains will in fact benefit the Rabi crops. Due to rainfall and increase in minimums which helped the ground frost to persist in Punjab will now also shed away.

Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh to see upward trend in minimums
Many parts of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra have been witnessing drop in minimum temperatures since last few days. This has led to cold wave conditions over both the states.
In fact, one or two places of East Madhya Pradesh have recorded freezing temperatures namely Umaria and Damoh which recorded 1.9°C and 0.2°C, respectively. Similarly Mumbai in Maharashtra recorded 11.9°C, followed by Pune 7.4°C and Nashik 5.8°C, thus recording season’s lowest minimums.
The reason for this significant drop in night temperatures can be attributed to the dry and cold winds blowing from Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh across the northern plains reaching up to Maharashtra.
At present, a cyclonic circulation is marked over Punjab and adjoining areas. Due to the development of this system, the flow of icy cold winds from the north has been obstructed.
Now easterly-southeasterly winds, which are relatively warm and humid in nature will once again hover over many parts of Maharashtra. These winds will increase the minimums and thus abating cold wave conditions from the region.
Comparatively, West Madhya Pradesh, Konkan and Goa and Madhya Maharashtra have witnessed a significant increase in temperatures than the other parts.
Temperatures are expected to further rise marginally over these aforementioned areas. With this, we can say that the severe winter chill which was prevailing since last 4 to 5 days has taken a leave from the region.

Cold wave abates Northern plains of India for now
In the recent past, many parts of Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi along with Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh were reeling under cold wave conditions due to extreme low temperatures. Temperatures reaches sub-zero degree Celsius which is not a frequent site in Northern plains.
But now as a cyclonic circulation has formed over Punjab and western disturbance has approached over Jammu and Kashmir which has increased the cloud cover over Northern plains. Temperatures have increased by 4-5°C in last 3 days.
Like Amritsar on January 12 recorded chilly minimum temperature of 0.8°C and shot up to 4.6°C today morning. Similar was with the case of Ludhiana that recorded minimums of 1.7°C on January 12, 2017 and witnessed 5.7°C morning. Temperatures in Meerut in last 24 hours shot up from 3.1°C to 6°C.
Churu in Rajasthan had recorded -1.9°C on January 12, 2017 but today morning 5.4°C. Hisar in Haryana recorded 1.1°C on January 13 and now the minimum temperatures settle at 4.6°C. Narnaul in Haryana witnessed bone chilling temperatures of -0.5°C on January 12, 2017 has the current minimum temperatures of 3.5°C.
So as of now we can say that the cold wave conditions prevailing over many parts of northwestern plains has now abated. Now due to significant increase in minimum temperatures, the ongoing severe winter conditions have eased up.
As the icy cold winds have been cut off and back to back western disturbances are expected to continue therefore we do not expect the night temperatures to fall significantly over all these areas. As January progresses the normal temperatures will also keep on increasing therefore we can say that severe winter will not make a comeback as of now.
