New Delhi: Today marks the last day of March, after which April will begin. The month of April is quite significant in terms of weather, as temperatures tend to reach their peak during this period. This year, however, it is expected that we will experience the heat typically associated with June, right in the month of April itself. Meanwhile, people in the mountains of North India are still grappling with the cold due to ongoing snowfall.
Temperatures dropped following late-night snowfall on the peaks of Himachal Pradesh and Kashmir. On Monday evening, the weather in Delhi-NCR turned pleasant—offering relief from the heat—as the region witnessed drizzle accompanied by gusty winds. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued rain alerts for several states. Read on for a detailed report on the weather outlook across different regions.
