Cold Wave Hits The Northern States

The conditions returned to large parts of northwest India with the onset of the New Year and the weather office has forecast dense morning fog over Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.

The IMD said isolated pockets over Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Uttar Pradesh and western Madhya Pradesh are expected to experience cold day and dense fog conditions over the next two days.

Fog is common at this time of the year due to light winds and high moisture near the surface over the Indo-Gangetic plains. The cold winter conditions lead to condensation of moisture and formation of tiny liquid droplets that hang in the air.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) classifies fog as ‘very dense’ when visibility is between 0 to 50 meters, moderate between 201 to 500 metres and Shallow between 501 to 1000 meters.

Under its influence cold wave to severe cold wave conditions are likely over the northern parts of Rajasthan. Delhi and adjoining areas had a brief respite from cold wave conditions last week.

Winters have been relatively warm over most parts of north India, except for the latter part of December when regions of north and northwest India experienced cold wave and dense fog conditions.

The IMD attributed the missing cold conditions over north India to the lack of strong western disturbances, or extra tropical weather systems, that bring rains to the plains and snowfall at higher altitudes.

Snowfall is seen in the parts of Jammu and Kashmir, amid the biting cold weather.
