Northwest India Experiences Above-Normal Temperatures Continuing Into Next Week

Northwest India, including Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, and Rajasthan, is experiencing day and night temperatures 3-5°C above normal, with some areas like Jammu and Kashmir seeing maximum temperatures over 6.5°C above average. This trend, driven by clear skies and reduced weather activity, is expected to continue next week. The India Meteorological Department notes that above-normal February temperatures have become more frequent, contributing to shortened winters and an earlier onset of summer across the region.
