February’s weather is still keeping North India on its toes.
Just when people expected winter to ease, cold conditions are continuing and fresh rain and snowfall are set to return to the mountains.
The India Meteorological Department says a western disturbance is becoming active again, bringing rain and snow to the Himalayan region.
This change in weather will not only affect hill states but will also push cold winds toward the plains, keeping temperatures lower than usual.
Fresh Snowfall and Rain in the Hills
According to the IMD, a western disturbance will start affecting the western Himalayan region from February 6, 2026.
Light to moderate rain and snowfall are expected in Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, and Himachal Pradesh.
Higher areas will see fresh snowfall, adding to the winter chill.
While the snow will make the mountains look scenic, it will also increase cold conditions and may affect travel in some regions.
Another Weather System from February 9 to 11
After a short break, weather activity will increase again.
Another western disturbance is likely to become active between February 9 and February 11.
During this period, rain and snowfall will continue in Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, and parts of Uttarakhand.
In some locations, snowfall could be heavy.
This raises the possibility of roadblocks and temporary closure of high mountain passes.
Effect on North Indian Plains
The impact of this mountain weather will also be felt in the plains of North India.
Strong winds are expected across northwest India over the next three days, with speeds ranging from 20 to 30 kilometers per hour or more.
These winds may help reduce pollution levels in Delhi-NCR and nearby areas.
At the same time, temperatures are likely to drop slightly within the next 24 hours.
Cold to Increase in Coming Days
The fall in temperature is expected to become more noticeable after February 9 and may continue until February 11.
Although dense fog has reduced in Delhi-NCR, the cold is likely to intensify again.
Overall, winter is not ready to leave North India just yet, and people should be prepared for colder days ahead.
