Temperatures in North West and Central India are expected to decrease starting on Sunday, December 29 as the year draws to a conclusion. As the New Year draws nearer, heavy fog is also expected to persist over Punjab and Haryana in the coming days.

In several areas of central and northwest India, we anticipate a steady drop in temperature of 3 to 5 degrees Celsius. For the next two days, Punjab and Haryana should have dense to extremely dense fog. We anticipate cold weather today, particularly in the Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, and Haryana regions," India Meteorological Department (IMD) scientist Dr. Naresh Kumar told ANI.

The scientist did caution, though, that even though the temperatures will drop, they will eventually return to normal. Dr. Naresh Kumar further stated that Delhi is probably not currently under the influence of the cold wave.

The weather in Punjab is cold.
