North India’s February weather is playing tricks, with Delhi sweltering under summer-like conditions. Relentless sunshine has spiked temperatures, but a powerful western disturbance promises a dramatic turnaround, bringing clouds and precipitation.
IMD data indicates Delhi’s highs at 28-29°C through February 21, lows 13-14°C. Winds at 19 km/h are moderating daytime heat, preserving morning and evening chill with nights dipping under 15°C.
Watch February 17: Cloud cover builds, max temp 29°C. February 18 brings the highlight – scattered light rain over Delhi-NCR. Expect a brief 1-2°C drop afterward, settling at 28°C before climbing again from 19th.
The system impacts Uttar Pradesh with showers and winds in eastern and Bundelkhand regions. Rajasthan stays hot and dry; Bikaner, Jodhpur saw 30°C+ Sunday, pattern continues.
Jharkhand’s cold eases, mins up to 12-13°C, southern areas near 15°C. Bihar sees variable weather, fog possible in Patna. Mountains in Himachal, Uttarakhand gear up for snow, altering regional winds.
As temperatures swing, IMD urges caution against respiratory issues. Anticipated rain may improve Delhi’s air quality, currently in poor range, providing dual relief.
