As winter settles in north India, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned of dense fog in several northern states. Dense fog is expected in parts of Punjab, Haryana, and Chandigarh during the early mornings of November 28 and 30.
Himachal Pradesh is likely to experience dense fog from November 27 to 29, while Uttar Pradesh may face similar conditions between November 28 and 30.
In the south and coastal regions, heavy rains and thunderstorms are predicted. The IMD has issued an alert for very heavy rainfall, along with thunderstorms and lightning, in Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal from November 25 to 28.
Kerala, Mahe, Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Yanam, and Rayalaseema may also experience heavy rain on November 26 and 27.
Most parts of the country will see stable minimum temperatures over the next five days. Hissar in Haryana and Sikar in east Rajasthan recorded the lowest temperature of 8.0°C in the plains.
Maximum temperatures in south India are expected to be above normal, while the rest of the country will see temperatures near or slightly below normal. In north west India, the minimum temperature may rise by 1 to 2 degrees Celsius in the next three days.
The IMD has also warned about a low-pressure system forming over the east Equatorial Indian Ocean, which is expected to become a depression over the central south Bay of Bengal by November 25.
It will move northwest toward the Tamil Nadu-Sri Lanka coasts in the following days. Additionally, a western disturbance is affecting Afghanistan and nearby areas.
