As for the north, cold northwesterly winds are likely to be dominant over the plains in northern and central India until Saturday. Minimum temperatures will tend to be cooler than normal in these parts, and cold wave and/or cold day conditions with some severe intensity are likely over some pockets.

Owing to this intensity, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an orange alert (“be prepared” for rough conditions) over the states and territories of Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh from January 14-16.
