Delhi-NCR Braces for Freezing Cold: Temperatures to Dip to -1°C, Ground Frost Expected

• North India is experiencing severe cold due to heavy snowfall in Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal, and Uttarakhand, with temperatures expected to drop significantly.
• ECMWF maps indicate temperatures in northwest India could be 12-16 degrees below normal, leading to a 'fridge-like' environment in plains.
• Delhi-NCR, especially Gurugram and adjoining Haryana districts, may see near-zero temperatures and ground frost on Sunday morning.
• Delhi's main observatory predicts minimum temperatures between 2.5-4.5°C, with rural areas being 2-3 degrees colder, but frost will disappear with sunrise.
• A new Western Disturbance is expected around January 26-28, bringing more rain and snow to hilly regions and light rain to Delhi-NCR, Punjab, Haryana, and North Rajasthan.

Why It Matters: North India, including Delhi-NCR, faces extreme cold with sub-zero temperatures and ground frost due to Himalayan snowfall.
