New Delhi | February 28, 2026
North India is witnessing fluctuating weather patterns as a western disturbance influences several states, bringing snowfall in the hills and foggy conditions across the plains, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
In New Delhi and the wider Delhi-NCR region, early morning chill continues, with mild sunshine expected during the day. Weather conditions remain largely dry, though partial cloud cover may persist in isolated areas.
Fog and Cold Conditions Across Plains
In the plains of Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan, residents are experiencing cooler mornings and evenings. Increased moisture levels have led to fog formation in some areas, reducing visibility during early hours.
Similarly, parts of Uttar Pradesh are reporting fluctuating temperatures. Morning mist and localized dense fog are likely in select districts, while daytime temperatures may see a marginal rise, offering slight relief from the cold.
Western regions of Rajasthan may also witness breezy conditions due to the impact of the ongoing western disturbance.
Snowfall Continues in Himalayan States
Higher elevations of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand are experiencing ongoing snowfall and rainfall activity. Temperatures in upper-altitude areas remain significantly low, with icy road conditions affecting travel in certain districts.
In the mountainous regions of Jammu and Kashmir, fresh snowfall continues in higher reaches. Authorities have advised caution for travelers as icy stretches and low temperatures persist.
The IMD has issued advisories for parts of North India, warning of possible thunderstorms, light rainfall, gusty winds, and continued snowfall in hilly terrain due to the western disturbance.
While daytime sunshine is expected to provide moderate relief in plains, cold air currents and wind speed variations may lead to noticeable temperature shifts. Authorities recommend commuters monitor local weather updates, particularly in fog-prone and high-altitude regions.
Overall Weather Outlook
At present, North India remains under a mixed weather pattern:
✔️ Cool mornings and evenings across plains
✔️ Partial sunshine during the day
✔️ Dense fog in isolated districts
✔️ Snowfall and rain in hill states
✔️ Travel advisories in mountainous areas
Residents are advised to stay updated with official weather bulletins and exercise caution, especially during early morning travel hours and in snow-affected regions.
