Punjab Hot and Cool Weather Reason
The weird weather that Punjab is witnessing is not new. As per reports, sudden or occasional thunderstorms and strong winds often occur in the evening during India's summer months due to the combination of high temperatures, moisture, and atmospheric instability. The heating of the land during the day creates a pressure difference, drawing in moist air and leading to convection. This process is often intensified by the sea breeze, and the resulting unstable atmosphere can trigger thunderstorms in the late afternoon and evening.
