"Cold Wave Tightens Grip on Punjab and Haryana: Narnaul Chills at 3°C, No Respite in Frigid Conditions"

Punjab and Haryana are in the icy embrace of an unrelenting cold wave, with temperatures plummeting to under 5 degrees Celsius at multiple locations, accompanied by a shroud of morning fog. Narnaul in Haryana claimed the title of the coldest place, recording a bone-chilling minimum temperature of 3 degrees Celsius on Saturday, as reported by the meteorological department in Chandigarh.

As the cold wave persists, Ambala experienced chilly conditions with a minimum temperature of 6.3 degrees Celsius, while Karnal saw the mercury drop to 5.7 degrees Celsius. Hisar shivered at a minimum of 3.6 degrees Celsius, and Rohtak, Bhiwani, and Sirsa registered temperatures of 5.4, 3.5, and 6 degrees Celsius, respectively.

The meteorological department issued a forecast, anticipating the likelihood of dense to very dense fog in some parts of Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, and Delhi. The bulletin highlighted minimum temperatures ranging from 3-7 degrees Celsius over most parts of Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, north Madhya Pradesh, and some parts of Rajasthan. In isolated pockets of Bihar, temperatures fall within this range, while many parts of south Rajasthan experience temperatures of 8-10 degrees Celsius. These readings are below normal by 1.0 degrees Celsius to 2.0 degrees Celsius in various parts of north and adjoining central India, except in Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan, where they remain normal to above normal.

In Punjab, the cold wave shows no signs of relenting, with Amritsar, Ludhiana, and Patiala recording minimum temperatures of 7.2, 4.9, and 5.4 degrees Celsius, respectively. Gurdaspur registered a low of 3.8 degrees Celsius, Pathankot 6.6, Bathinda 4.5, Faridkot 5 degrees, and Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar 5.4 degrees Celsius. The common capital of Chandigarh witnessed a low of 6.8 degrees Celsius.

As residents brace themselves against the biting cold, the meteorological department advises caution, particularly due to the anticipated foggy conditions. The persistence of the cold wave underscores the winter’s firm grip on the region, urging locals to take necessary precautions as they navigate through the frosty weather.
