Punjab to Witness Rain for Two Days, Temperature Drops

Amritsar : Punjab is expected to receive rain for the next two days, leading to a further drop in temperature. According to the Meteorological Department, the state will experience moderate rainfall, which may provide temporary relief from dry conditions. However, the overall low rainfall this season has resulted in a significant water storage deficit in major dams.

The recent temperature dip has been noticeable across several districts, with chilly winds adding to the cold conditions. Farmers, who have been facing concerns over unpredictable weather, are hoping that the upcoming rain will benefit their crops. However, water conservation experts have raised concerns over the declining storage levels in reservoirs, which may impact irrigation and drinking water supply in the coming months.

Authorities have advised residents to prepare for sudden weather changes, especially in regions prone to waterlogging. Meanwhile, the Meteorological Department has predicted that the weather will start improving from February 19, with a gradual rise in temperature and clearer skies.

The government is closely monitoring the situation, ensuring that farmers and urban areas receive necessary support in case of excessive rainfall or further cold waves. Experts emphasize the need for better water management strategies to address the storage deficit in Punjab’s reservoirs. With climate patterns becoming increasingly unpredictable, sustainable measures are crucial to mitigating the impact of erratic weather conditions.
