The intense cold that has been plaguing North India for the past several days will pass in the upcoming days.

In the upcoming days, the extreme cold that has plagued North India for the past few days will ease. The impact of winter in Delhi-NCR has reportedly diminished marginally as a result of the Western Disturbance, according to the Meteorological Department. 

The Meteorological Department has, however, warned that the likelihood of cold weather returning starting on January 1 has increased. January 2 and 3 are forecast to be extremely cold days.

Expect some respite from the cold
The Meteorological Department predicts that Haryana will have some relief from the bitter cold until January 1. There will be a small increase in the daytime and nighttime temperatures throughout this time. However, several Haryana regions that border Rajasthan will experience cold. It is anticipated that the minimum temperature would be below average, particularly in South Haryana.
