The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast a spell of warm daytime conditions accompanied by morning fog for the Chandigarh Tricity region over the coming days. Residents of Chandigarh, Mohali, and Panchkula can expect a specific weather pattern to dominate the local skies.
IMD's Detailed Forecast for the Region
According to the latest bulletin from the meteorological office, the maximum temperature in Chandigarh is likely to remain around 25 degrees Celsius on Tuesday. The minimum temperature is expected to settle near 11 degrees Celsius. This pattern of warm days and cooler nights is set to continue, with similar conditions predicted for Wednesday and Thursday as well.
The forecast explicitly mentions the likelihood of shallow to moderate fog in the morning hours over the next three days. This combination of foggy starts leading into relatively warm afternoons defines the immediate weather outlook for the union territory and its adjoining cities in Punjab and Haryana.
Comparative Weather and Advisory
On the previous day, Monday, Chandigarh had recorded a maximum temperature of 24.2 degrees Celsius, which was one degree above the season's normal. The night temperature was recorded at 10.8 degrees Celsius. The forecast indicates a slight rise, continuing the trend of above-normal daytime warmth.
While the fog may reduce visibility during the early morning, the IMD has not issued a dense fog alert for this period. The forecast suggests the fog will be of shallow to moderate intensity. Commuters, especially those traveling early in the morning, are advised to exercise caution on roads and highways.
Broader Weather Context and Outlook
This weather update, specific to the Tricity, is part of the IMD's regular regional forecasts. The persistence of warm days aligns with broader winter patterns observed in the northern plains during this part of the season. The fog formation is attributed to moisture content and specific wind conditions prevalent in the region.
The IMD continues to monitor the situation and will update its warnings if the intensity of the fog increases or if significant changes in the temperature profile are anticipated. For now, the Tricity is set for a stretch of predictable weather marked by familiar winter characteristics.
