North India is under the grip of severe cold wave. Mercury has dipped 5º below normal in many places. Leh (Jammu and Kashmir) recorded a minimum temperature of -14ºC. Sri Nagar recorded a temperature of -6º C (5º below normal). Delhi was at 3.6º C (4º below normal). The entire belt of Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh is under the grip of the cold wave. Partial Rajasthan (Churu recorded a temperature of 0.4º C), Bihar and Jharkhand are also experiencing winter chill. Ground frost appeared in the fields damaging seedlings of rabi crops. At Mount Abu, the upper layers of Nakki lake got frozen in the wee hours but melted with the sunlight. The early onset of cold waves can be attributed to the western disturbances over Kashmir. The only light in this chilly winter is that the dreaded fog is still a week away.
