Weather Report & Forecast
(Indicating regional changes)

December 19/20, 2008

Weather forecast valid for next 3 days

      The western disturbance over Jammu & Kashmir and neighbourhood persists. The trough in mid and upper tropospheric westerlies lies with its axis at roughly along longitude 60°E, north of latitude 23°N. In view of the above systems, fairly widespread rain/snowfall is likely to continue over western Himalayan region during the next 48 hours and decrease thereafter. Isolated to scattered rainfall is also likely over Punjab and Haryana during the the period. Minimum temperatures are above normal by 4-7°C over northwest & adjoining westcentral India. This scenario of above normal minimum temperatures is likely to continue over the regions during the next 1-2 days. Subsequently minimum temperatures are likely to fall by 3-5°C from 21st onwards. Fog is also likely over parts of northwest India. Fog is prevailing over east Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and parts of west Uttar Pradesh & northestern states.

OUTLOOK (Dec 22-Dec 24): Further fall in minimum temperatures is likely over northwest, east & central India.

(Note: In hill stations like Mussorie in the northern Himalayas and Munnar in southern India, temperature is considerably low round the year - Go to Travel Sites from Home Page )
