As temperatures in North India blip up briefly this week, January 2023 could still go down in the books as the coldest for the region, a weather expert has predicted, with temperatures in the plains dipping as far as -4 degrees Celsius next week.
Severe chills are on the horizon between January 14 and 19 and are likely to be at their peak from January 16 to 18, tweeted Navdeep Dahiya, the founder of Live Weather of India, an online weather platform.
And while light rainfall in the national capital might bring some respite from icy temperatures for a few days, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has also said cold wave conditions are very likely in isolated pockets over Delhi and its neighbouring states from Saturday.
