While people in the regions of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana are lighting bonfires for warmth, the India Meteorological Department is warning of rainfall in the regions of South India.
While the north is undergoing freezing temperatures, the IMD has also predicted heavy rainfall in the Southern peninsula because of a deep depression in the Bay of Bengal.

Temperature: The maximum temperature for Delhi will remain around 16°C, while the minimum may drop to 5°C.
Wind Chill: The icy winds with a speed of 15 to 20 km/h are making the "real-feel" temperature much lower, thus serious health hazards to the elderly and children.

Uttar Pradesh - Fog and School Closures
A dense blanket of fog has impacted rail and road transport services in UP.
Cold Wave Zone: Over 15 districts are under the influence of intense cold. These include Lucknow, Prayagraj, Kanpur, and Agra.

In the eastern part of the country, Ranchi is still a bit cold and cloudy due to dense fog conditions, with a minimum of 19°C to 7°C. Meanwhile, South India is dealing with a completely different situation since Chennai is on high alert due to intense rainfall conditions with a warm and humid environment of 29°C to 24°C.
