New Delhi: The weather is set to take a turn for the worse once again, with the possibility of rain accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning. Although the monsoon has bid farewell to North India, adverse weather conditions persist in some areas. A drop in temperature has been recorded following snowfall in the hilly regions of Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, and Uttarakhand. This cooling trend has led to the onset of chilly conditions.
Consequently, residents in hilly areas have started using warm clothing. Meanwhile, early morning rains have made the weather pleasant in several parts of South India.
