Heavy Rain & Snow Alert Friday: Major Weather Shift Across North India | IMD Forecast

Heavy Rain and Snow Predicted on Friday as North India Braces for Sudden Weather Change

North India is set to experience a significant weather shift on Friday as heavy rainfall and snowfall are forecast across several regions. According to weather experts, an active western disturbance will impact large parts of North India, bringing widespread rain to the plains and fresh snowfall in higher altitudes.

States including Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Delhi may witness cloudy skies, moderate to heavy rainfall, and a noticeable fall in daytime temperatures. Meanwhile, mountainous regions of Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Jammu & Kashmir are likely to receive fresh snowfall, which could disrupt road connectivity and tourist movement.

The changing weather conditions may provide relief from dry spells but could also lead to cold day conditions, fog, and slippery roads. Farmers are advised to stay alert, while travelers should follow local advisories issued by authorities.

Meteorologists predict that after Friday’s intense activity, temperatures will continue to remain low, with chilly winds and foggy mornings persisting in many areas. Residents are advised to stay updated with the latest weather alerts and take necessary precautions.

This weather update is crucial for commuters, farmers, tourists, and residents as North India transitions into more intense winter conditions.

Rainfall Likely Across Plains and Foothills

Several parts of North India may experience moderate to heavy rainfall. States such as Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh are likely to see cloudy skies, intermittent showers, and a noticeable dip in daytime temperatures.

The rain could benefit rabi crops by improving soil moisture but may also cause localized waterlogging in low-lying areas. Commuters are advised to plan travel carefully, as wet roads and reduced visibility could disrupt traffic during peak hours.

Snowfall Expected in Himalayan Regions

Higher reaches of the western Himalayas are forecast to receive fresh snowfall. Hill states including Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Jammu and Kashmir may see moderate to heavy snow in mountainous areas.

Popular tourist destinations could experience temporary road closures due to snow accumulation. Authorities are likely to issue advisories for travelers, especially in sensitive mountain passes and remote regions.

Temperature Drop and Cold Conditions Ahead

With the arrival of rain and snow, temperatures across north India are expected to fall further. Cold day conditions may prevail in some cities, while nights could become sharper and chillier, particularly after the system moves eastward.

Residents are advised to keep warm, stay updated with local weather alerts, and avoid unnecessary travel in extreme conditions.

Outlook for the Coming Days

After Friday’s weather activity, conditions are expected to gradually stabilize. However, lingering cold winds and foggy mornings may continue in parts of the plains, while snow-covered regions could remain under cold stress for several days.
