A western disturbance is expected to modify the weather across northern India, bringing changes in temperature and precipitation patterns. Meteorological authorities warn of possible shifts in the monsoon outlook.
A western disturbance, a low‑pressure system that moves from the Mediterranean across the Middle East and into the Indian subcontinent, is projected to reach northern India this week.
Meteorologists say the disturbance will bring cooler temperatures and increased cloud cover to the plains and foothills, potentially altering the timing and intensity of early monsoon showers.
The India Meteorological Department has issued a weather bulletin warning of a possible shift in the monsoon pattern, urging farmers and planners to adjust their schedules.
Meanwhile, Delhi continues to grapple with severe air‑pollution levels, a situation that remains largely independent of the current weather change but adds to the city’s environmental challenges.
