Thoothkudi, Tenkasi, and Teni districts are likely to face light rains, stated the weather department in its latest release.

Earlier, the IMD said that a western disturbance over central Pakistan and its surrounding areas is expected to bring light to isolated rainfall in Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi-NCR over the next two days.

In its latest forecast on Sunday, the IMD predicted a cold wave across most of Northern India beginning December 9.

According to an IMD release, cold wave conditions are expected in West Rajasthan from December 9 to December 14, while Punjab, Haryana-Chandigarh, and West Uttar Pradesh will experience cold wave conditions starting December 11.

The IMD defines cold wave conditions as a significant drop in temperature compared to normal climatological values for a given location. (ANI)
