19th December 

*Cold wave conditions over India to abate, last week of December could see anomalously high temps. during day and night time (warm nights expected from Christmas to New year. 

Extended range forecasts  indicate that the last week of December could see very warm temps. over most parts of India. Cold winter feeling could go missing for the next one week or more as an anomalous lower tropospheric cyclonic circulation is set to anchor over India and the neighboring regions facilitating tropical moisture incursion. Few nights can be exceptionally warm for this time of the year over parts of India.

 Models also indicate the arrival of a stronger western disturbance over the western Himalayan regions by around 27/28th of December which could result in rainfall and cloudiness over north and parts of central India with fair chance of snowfall at higher elevations.
