India is bracing for a mixed bag of weather as February draws to a close, with varying conditions expected across different states on February 26, 2025. The latest forecasts indicate the influence of Western Disturbance, which will lead to light rainfall and some snowfall, primarily impacting northern and central regions.
Starting with the northern belt, places like Delhi, Punjab, and Uttarakhand are preparing for cold weather coupled with mild rain. The maximum temperatures are expected to hover around 22 degrees Celsius, with minimum temperatures dipping to as low as 8-10 degrees Celsius according to local weather experts. Uttarakhand might particularly witness light snowfall and rainfall, especially at higher altitudes.
"हल्की बारिश और ऊंचाई वाले क्षेत्रों में बर्फबारी होने की संभावना है," noted Rashmi Khatri, highlighting the expected conditions for Uttarakhand and its mountainous areas, where temperatures will significantly drop due to snowfall.
Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh is unlikely to be spared from the chill; light rain is forecasted for several districts. The Indian Meteorological Department confirmed the possibility of precipitation as spring approaches, pushing cold winds across the region.
The situation is just as variable across central India as well. Reports from Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan suggest cloudy skies with possible light rain, particularly after noon as weather systems from Pakistan bring moisture and cool air toward these regions. According to local weather bureau insights, "जयपुर मौसम केंद्र के अनुसार 25 फरवरी को राजस्थान में मौसम शुष्क रहा" highlights the recent dry spell, but it anticipates change soon.
Cities like Bhopal and Indore are likely to see temperatures ranging from 12 to 15 degrees Celsius minimum during nighttime and peaking between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius during the day. The dimmer days paired with cold breezes could keep residents needing light jackets, especially at night.
Heading southwards, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala may experience scattered rain with temperatures reaching 28-30 degrees Celsius throughout the day. Bangalore and Chennai are expected to maintain relatively pleasant weather, with clouds dominating the sky. This should bring relief from the heat, keeping conditions agreeable for residents.
It is also worth noting the eastern regions, where Assam and West Bengal's weather will be distinctively cooler with light winds, though rainfall might not be significant. The forecast indicates moderate temperatures around 16-18 degrees Celsius for Kolkata, ensuring residents will need light sweaters during the early mornings and late evenings.
On the western front, states like Maharashtra and Gujarat are beginning to feel the onset of summer, with maximum temperatures soaring to 32-34 degrees Celsius. While the afternoons may feel warmer, the mornings and evenings promise cooler breezes.
Notably, as weather patterns evolve throughout the week, residents are advised to remain cautious. "देश के कुछ राज्यों में अब गर्मी का असर शुरू हो गया है," reported national weather forecasts, emphasizing the need for residents to adjust accordingly to the fluctuative conditions.
Travelers, particularly those planning excursions to hilly areas where winter weather is still prevalent, should be prepared for sudden temperature shifts and potential travel delays due to snowfall. Increased caution is advised for uphill roads prone to slick conditions post-snow.
To navigate this complex weather, locals are encouraged to dress accordingly and keep hydrated, especially when facing warm days or high humidity levels. By staying informed through local forecasts, everyone can enjoy the comfortable weather to come as winter slowly recedes and spring begins to take hold.
For continuous updates on weather conditions, individuals are encouraged to stay connected with trustworthy meteorological services. Being aware of the weather can help manage daily plans, outdoor activities, and travel decisions effectively.
