Cyclonic storm ‘Montha’ that arose from the Bay of Bengal still has an impact on many states, due to which the weather patterns have changed. While on one hand the temperature will fall and cold will increase in the plains, on the other hand snowfall can be seen in the hilly states.

Double attack of pollution and cold in Delhi

According to the Meteorological Department, there is no possibility of heavy rain in Delhi at present, although light drizzle may occur at some places.
