Click to play videoNew Delhi: Hailstorms and rains had dampened the Diwali spirits in some parts of northern India last week.
But weather department says, it’s not yet time to bring out the sweaters. We will have to wait till December before winters are officially declared.
After a complete washout on Diwali, in Jammu the Eid morning was bright and sunny.
Last week saw heavy rains and snow in some parts of the valley, Himachal Pradesh and Uttaraanchal giving the impression that winters were around the corner.
But after three days of cloudy sky, the temperatures have shot back to over 20 degree Celsius.
Punjab and Haryana too saw some weather fluctuations.
After the sudden dip in temperatures in the region following showers around Diwali, the temperature is again inching upwards.
Chandigarh on Wednesday recorded a minimum of 14.2 degrees Celsius, up two degrees from the 12.2 recorded on Tuesday.
There was fog in Jalandhar on Tuesday morning but it cleared out soon enough.
So are winters really knocking the doors of north India? The weatherman says no.
"One or two incidents like some rains doesn’t mean that winters is here. Winters in Delhi comes in December and for most part of north India, in February-March," said Director General of Met Dept B Lal.
According to the met department, the sudden change in weather was due to a western disturbance which was lying over Jammu and Kashmir.
Delhi's minimum temperature is 17 degree Celsius, which is normal for this time. And it might go higher in the coming days.
So for those Delhiites who rejoiced in the light showers a few days ago, its not yet time to bring out the woolies.
