Delhi wakes to predominantly sunny conditions on this February 23 Monday, a stark shift from fluctuating patterns. Morning haze possible, but daytime highs of 29-31°C and lows 13-15°C – deviations of 3-5°C and 1.6-3°C above norms respectively – signal intensifying warmth post-yesterday’s blaze.
IMD eyes a 48-hour pivot for northern states: cloud cover and rainfall chances rising. Last week’s Delhi seesaws of showers and sun, fueled by 17-20 km/h directional winds, set the stage. Warm days lured crowds to shops for breezy outfits, but impending rains promise temperature dips and renewed chill.
No such luck in UP-Bihar-MP belt, where dry heat reigns. Expect 1-3°C surpluses daytime, elevated nights. Northwest India’s seven-day outlook: progressive 3-4°C rise, amplifying discomfort.
Dramatic south: heavy rain warnings dot Tamil Nadu, Kerala. Andamans gear for lightning-laced moderate showers, 30-40 km/h gusts. February 24 brings wet prospects to Odisha, east MP, Chhattisgarh, northeast, Ganga plains Bengal, Telangana – with thunder risks. Snowy hills of Uttarakhand-Himachal also rain-bound soon.
Navigating this patchwork forecast demands preparation, from hydration in heat zones to umbrellas in wet belts, highlighting IMD’s pivotal role in daily resilience.
