Punjab : is witnessing a rise in temperature, with six districts recording temperatures above 28°C. The maximum temperature has reached 30.2°C, indicating an early onset of summer. However, the weather is expected to take a turn in the coming days, bringing some relief. According to the Meteorological Department, rain is likely in several parts of Punjab over the next two days, which may bring a slight drop in temperatures.
The rising temperature has made the afternoons warmer than usual, with many areas experiencing heat similar to mid-summer conditions. The districts most affected by the temperature surge include Ludhiana, Patiala, Amritsar, Jalandhar, Bathinda, and Mohali. Despite the high temperatures, the nights remain relatively pleasant due to cool winds.
Weather experts predict a shift in climatic conditions from March 12, as a western disturbance is expected to impact the region. This could bring scattered showers and cloudy skies, leading to a temporary dip in temperature. The upcoming rain will also help in reducing the dry spell and provide much-needed relief to farmers preparing for the next crop season.
The changing weather patterns have also affected air quality, with pollution levels fluctuating due to increased dust and dry conditions. Experts advise people to stay hydrated and take necessary precautions while stepping out in the sun, as sudden weather changes can impact health.
With the forecast of rain and a temperature drop on the horizon, residents of Punjab can expect a brief respite from the rising heat. However, meteorologists warn that summer may arrive earlier than usual this year, making it crucial to stay prepared for warmer days ahead.
