Many parts of southern India likely to witness heavy rainfall

A fresh low pressure in the Bay of Bengal will bring rains to south whereas cold weather will prevail in north

In November, a transition in weather was observed in much of India as the minimum temperatures started dropping giving an intense chilling effect. On November 11, while Leh in Jammu and Kashmir recorded a minimum temperature of -8.1°C, Shimla in Himachal Pradesh recorded a minimum temperature of 9.2°C. Plains in North India have also reported minimum temperatures in the range of 10°C-15°C. On November 11, while many places in Punjab and Haryana recorded a minimum temperature near 10°C, New Delhi (Safdarjung) was placed at 11.2°C (About 3°C less than the normal temperature). According to weather models, the most of northern India will continue to experience drop in temperatures this week.
Meanwhile, “cyclonic activity” is expected to keep southern India wet.

The tropical cyclone activity in the northern Indian Ocean (Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea) has been remarkable since October. While powerful Cyclone Hudhud  hit Andhra Pradesh on October 12, Cyclone Nilofar  that rose from the Arabian Sea weakened before it could hit Gujarat.
