The impact of an active Western Disturbance is being felt across Punjab, with changing weather conditions reported in several parts of the state. While some districts witnessed partly cloudy skies during the afternoon on Wednesday, leading to a slight dip in temperatures, isolated rainfall is likely in a few areas on Thursday.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has not issued any weather alert for the state but has forecast the possibility of scattered rainfall in some districts.
Following the cloudy conditions, Punjab recorded a marginal decline of 0.6 degrees Celsius in the maximum temperature. However, temperatures remain close to the seasonal average. Night temperatures have also been recorded around normal levels.
Meanwhile, Punjab has witnessed a slight improvement in air quality. Ludhiana, where the Air Quality Index (AQI) had crossed the 300 mark, recorded an AQI below 300 on Wednesday. Other districts also reported marginal improvements in air quality, providing some relief to residents.
Winds are currently blowing from the north and northwest directions at speeds of 4 to 6 kmph. The movement of winds has also contributed to a decline in pollution levels, offering residents some respite from poor air quality.
