IMD Predicts Rain and Snowfall Across North India Amid Rising Air Pollution Levels

The India Meteorological Department has issued an alert for <b>widespread weather changes</b> across North India due to a new western disturbance and a cyclonic storm forming over the Bay of Bengal. Heavy snowfall is expected in Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, while Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Haryana are likely to receive light to moderate rainfall between November 15 and 16. This shift in weather is expected to provide relief from the <b>severe air pollution</b> currently plaguing the National Capital Region, where AQI levels have consistently remained in the hazardous category. Officials anticipate that the incoming rain will help clear the air and improve visibility.
