Amid above-normal temperatures and poor air quality prevailing over north India due to dry weather and stubble burning, some respite is over the horizon, with the weather department predicting a fall in temperature during the next few days.

“A gradual fall in minimum temperature over north India by 2-3°C during November 3-7 is likely,” a bulletin issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on November 1 stated. The prevailing minimum temperatures are above normal by 2-6°C in northwest India, with the maximum temperatures above normal by up to 4°C, according to the IMD data.

During the past 24 hours, the maximum temperature in Punjab ranged from 35.5°C in Faridkot to 31.2°C in Hoshiarpur, while the minimum temperatures were between 18.3°C in Fatehgarh Sahib to 31.1°C in Pathankot.
