Gurgaon: A western disturbance is active in the north and another system is expected to affect the western Himalayan region from Feb 8. India Meteorological Department (IMD) says its impact on the plains will be limited to strong surface winds, shallow fog in isolated places, and temperature fluctuations, with no rainfall forecast for Haryana, including Gurgaon.
IMD’s Chandigarh centre said the current system, positioned over north-east Iran and Afghanistan, is being steered eastwards by mid-tropospheric westerlies, creating pressure gradients that may cause gusty surface winds across the region over the next three days. A fresh western disturbance likely to influence the western Himalayas from Feb 8 is also not expected to bring precipitation to Haryana.
Meanwhile, the city recorded a minimum temperature of 9.3°C on Friday morning, as against the previous day’s 8.6°C, slightly below normal, while the city’s maximum rose to 23.1°C, up by 0.9°C as compared to 22.2°C, the previous day.Across Haryana, average maximum temperatures climbed by 0.9°C and are now near normal, with Faridabad emerging as the hottest location in the state at 24.9°C. Hisar and Mahendragarh followed close behind at 24.6°C each. On the cooler side, Yamunanagar’s Hathnikund station recorded a maximum of 20.3°C. Night temperatures also showed a marginal rise, with the state’s average minimum up by 0.3°C compared to Wednesday. The lowest minimum was recorded in Mahendragarh at 6.6°C. IMD’s seven-day outlook indicates dry weather across Haryana until Feb 12, with no warnings issued.
