Hill stations in J&K, Ladakh, Himachal, and Uttarakhand face rain with thunder and potential snowfalls on 27-28 January. Plains aren’t spared: Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh eye light-to-moderate rain and hail; western UP and eastern Rajasthan predict gusty showers. Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgarh may see isolated rains, while Bihar gets wet on the 28th.

Fog alerts persist after yesterday’s thick blanket over western UP (visibility <50m), Punjab, eastern MP, and Meghalaya. Minimum temps in northwest states ranged 5-10°C; Rajasthan's Alwar hit 4.5°C low. Himachal shivers under ongoing chill.

Aviation took a hit in Kashmir, where relentless snow forced cancellation of all 58 Srinagar flights Tuesday—half incoming, half outgoing. Airport authorities prioritized passenger safety, promising quick resumption post-clearance. In contrast, Mumbai's surprise morning shower, the second this month, drenched suburbs hardest.

This system highlights winter's unpredictable tail end. Farmers should protect crops from hail, travelers monitor flights and roads, and everyone heed IMD advisories. As conditions evolve, communities from mountains to metros must adapt swiftly to minimize impacts.

Delhi-NCR, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan brace for scattered showers and gusty winds. As per expert insights, the system’s progression triggers northwest winds, slashing temperatures notably on Saturday mornings—down to as low as 8°C in spots.

A fresh disturbance looms, targeting key regions including Delhi-NCR, Haryana, Punjab, and beyond from January 26 onwards, peaking on the 27th and 28th. Expect intense snow in mountains and drizzle in lowlands.

Delhi-NCR escapes major warnings, though chillier conditions are imminent post-Republic Day. The influx of cold air from snow-clad hills will make plains feel the bite.

Weather officials recommend monitoring updates before travel, with extra caution for mountainous areas where conditions could worsen rapidly.
