While winter creeps across northern India, new weather reports show Punjab won’t see cold snaps or rain soon. Instead of wet spells kicking in early, the outlook points to dry days ahead. The India Meteorological Department’s update on 18 November 2025 says every district will stay rain-free through the 22nd. So far, no chill or showers are on the way.
This means Punjab just started feeling the first winter cold - yet the usual rains that make it colder won't show up this week. Every main district - like Amritsar, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Patiala, Bathinda, Ferozepur and a few more - sits in the green zone, meaning no warnings, not even a cloud in sight.
IMD says Punjab won't get any rain in the next five days. Normally, a bit of winter drizzle now would cool things fast, making it bitterly cold. But this time, the usual weather pattern's quiet. Besides that, no moisture-laden systems from the west are moving toward Punjab’s flatlands within the predicted timeframe.
Even though it's 1.9°C cooler than usual, Punjab won't see frost anytime soon. Nearby Hisar in Haryana hit 6.3°C, yet things aren’t turning icy here. The nights might seem chillier, meanwhile mornings could pack more of a punch. Still, without clouds or rain, temps won’t drop too sharply.
The next few days are going to deliver:
Clear skies
Cold though steady evenings
No fog-related disruptions
No rain means no stronger winter
People need to get ready for the usual dry season weather - crisp breezes, chilly evenings, yet sunny middays - not hit by the deep freeze storms usually bring.
Weather watchers say don’t believe rumors about Punjab getting rain or freezing temps. Instead of “and,” think "alongside" - like how current data sits alongside calm forecasts. The IMD’s newest snapshots, heat visuals, plus alerts all show one thing: steady skies, no moisture, nothing risky before Nov 22.
Right now, Punjab's winter is gradually getting stronger - yet there’s no sign of the usual rain that deepens it this week.
