North India is witnessing severe cold as snowfall in the Himalayas triggers icy winds across the plains. Kashmir and Himachal record sub-zero temperatures, while dense fog disrupts transport in UP, Punjab and Rajasthan. Rivers and lakes have frozen in hill states.
Severe snowfall in the hill states has intensified winter conditions across North India, bringing biting cold, dense fog and cold wave conditions to the plains. Visibility has dropped sharply in several regions, disrupting daily life and transport.
Most parts of the state experienced biting cold westerly winds along with dense fog, and a significant drop in daytime temperatures was recorded. In many districts, the daytime temperature plummeted well below normal, increasing the chill and biting cold. People had to resort to bonfires even during the day.
A biting cold wave and dense morning fog are sweeping across UP, Punjab, and Haryana, disrupting life and travel. With temperatures plunging and visibility dropping, how severe will the chill get, and which regions are most at risk?
