Cold is holding its grip
over the Northern region of the sub-continent.
The lowest in the Indian
region was Adampur (Punjab ) which saw a low of
-0.4c on Monday, with Hissar in Haryana at 0c on Monday. Amritsar
The days were cold in U.P.
and adjoining regions on Monday. Varanasi at 14c
in the day being 11c below normal, Allahabad
The persisting cold wave
is attributed to the high pressure area (upper air) sitting over the area. With
the NW winds starting after the W.D. passes, say by the 21st, we can expect the
days in the North to become normal, and cold winds would sweep the NW and
central regions.
Meanwhile the W.D,
mentioned in Sunday's blog, is moving into the Kashmir
region. Would expect Srinagar
Snowfall, heavy on the
higher portions, is expected on the Jammu-Srinagar highway on Tuesday. Travelers
are expected to be prepared for closures in parts.
Mumbai: Tuesday and Wednesday: Partly cloudy with high cirrus
clouds. Max in the day will be around 32c, and night temperature should be
18/19c.
Pune: Tuesday and Wednesday: Partly cloudy with thick cirrus
clouds (high). Day will be around 31c and night will be 12c.
An Easterly wave (mentioned
in Sunday's Blog) will bring some rains to the South T.N coast on Tuesday and
Wednesday. As mentioned earlier, a pulse from the typhoon Washi hold on to a
chance of a system coming towards the East coast around the 25th.

There are places in North UP under a near persistent fog cover for many days now. Some towns recorded day time highs of 11 Celsius yesterday. That coupled with no sunlight makes it feel colder. Here is the link to the satellite image from today http://www.imageurlhost.com/images/aku85c0o2eaeb1nfi5xv_Fog.jpg. For some reason the real dense fog has still not moved further west into the Delhi region so far.
This is phenomena on the rise but very little is understood of it. The most detailed article on this i have read is from 2003. Here is the link http://www.himalmag.com/component/content/article/1915-the-dark-white-shroud.html
Here is the satellite image link again as it got truncated

Still does not work. You can ignore the second comment.
In my original comment the link is actually complete but is not visible.
If you highlight the first part of the URL using the mouse and then hit "Shift" and "Enter" keys together the part of the URL which is not visible also gets selected and then you can see the image and the article.
Maybe there is a better way.
Saurabh: Very interesting article. Fog phenomena is common to last for 15 days, and has lasted for 25 days in the past.A high pressure stable in the region can cause this to persist. Last season fog brought the day down to 9c at Amritsar.
