But temperatures in the northern plains will not fall immediately. “We are not expecting a fall in temperatures immediately because there are consecutive Western Disturbances which are affecting the Western Himalayas. With a Western Disturbance, there is usually clouding and temperatures are marginally above normal. Just behind tomorrow’s Western Disturbance, there is another Western Disturbance approaching on December 11 so it’s unlikely that temperatures will fall significantly now. A significant drop in temperatures is expected only once the Western Disturbances pass and there is no other Western Disturbance approaching,” said K Sathi Devi, head, national weather forecasting centre.
