New Delhi: North India is all geared up to welcome the New Year with a biting chill. After the rains and snow in the region, the cold wave, as predicted by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), will intensify with December merging into January. The chill will be more pronounced, from the Himalayan peaks to the plains.

Winter's Fury Unleashed

It will look absolutely dreadful out there. A tremendous temperature drop is hanging over the region. The mercury levels are likely to go down by 3-5°C in Northwest India over the next two days. West and Central India is all set for a brisk chill while East India too is all set to follow. Frosty mornings, thick fog, and icy winds will create the perfect wintry scene.

Himachal Pradesh & Beyond: Ready Yourself

Extreme cold wave conditions will prevail over Himachal Pradesh's picture-perfect hills on December 30 and 31. Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan are no behind in bracing themselves for biting winds and bone-chilling mornings between December 29 and January 3. Even Delhi shivers at the aftertaste of record rainfall registered on the wettest day of December in 101 years.

A Misty New Year 

The plains will be veiled with a mystical mist of fog. Ground frost will sparkle in the valleys of Himachal, and chill winds will blow across Punjab and Haryana. There is something about winter's raw beauty that this weather reminds us of-winter gatherings around heaters and bonfires.

With the icy grip of 2025, this winter promises to enter in style. North India remains unmoved and all set to embrace the cold wave with woolen wraps, steaming chai, and warm hearts.
