Weather Update: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) indicates that a new western disturbance will impact North India starting January 4. There is a heightened chance of rain and snowfall in the region. According to IMD, this disturbance is expected to affect North-West India from the night of January 4, with rain and snow anticipated in the Western Himalayan areas from January 1 to 3. Heavy rain and snowfall are expected on January 4 and 5. IMD scientist Soma Sen Roy mentioned that the previous western disturbance has moved away from North India, leading to reduced cold wave conditions, which now persist only in the Western Himalayan region.
