Punjab gets rain alert with gusty winds, temperature to dip
The Story in Brief
Punjab is likely to receive light to moderate rain accompanied by strong winds on Saturday, 24 October, the weather department has warned. Gusts of 30 to 40 km/h with thunderstorms are expected in some areas, which could bring down the day temperature.
The state's maximum temperature has already dropped by an average of 0.7 degrees Celsius from the previous day. Faridkot recorded the highest maximum at 35.2 degrees Celsius. The minimum temperature averaged 0.1 degrees higher than the previous day but remained 3.6 degrees above normal.
Dry weather is forecast for 26 and 27 October, while isolated rain is likely again on 28 and 29 October.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The rain alert comes as Punjab's day temperature has begun falling, but the minimum remains well above normal. The gap between the two readings shows that the cooling is uneven, and the heat during the day persists even as nights stay warm. The forecast of dry weather on 26 and 27 October means the relief from rain will be brief. The next likely window for further cooling is 28 and 29 October, when isolated showers are expected again.
