Is North India Heading for an Extreme Winter?
A lot is being “heard” about a possible La Niña event developing this winter — with suggestions that it could bring a harsh season for North India.
However, the La Niña indicators currently point to it's start only after December 2025, meaning the most pronounced impact may be felt in January–February 2026.
❄️ Overall Outlook
The North Subcontinent is expected to witness a higher frequency of Western Disturbances, bringing more rain and snow to the northern hills and plains.
This will translate to colder-than-normal conditions, especially in January 2026, which could see multiple cold day and cold wave events.
