The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has put Tamil Nadu and many South Indian cities on alert. The reason behind alert is Cyclone Ditwah. Cyclone Ditwah is expected to bring intense rainfall across northern Tamil Nadu on Saturday.
The state government has deployed extensive disaster-response manpower across vulnerable districts. A total of 16 State Disaster Response Force teams and 12 National Disaster Response Force teams have been positioned in Kancheepuram, Tiruvallur, Chengalpattu, Chennai, Vellore, Ranipet, etc.
Notably, in Northern India, especially in Punjab, winters have started to peak. During the day-time temperature in Punjab is hovering in early 20s, while during the night-time, temperature is being recorded in single digits.
For example, IMD Chandigarh on November 29 reported that Faridkot was the coldest district of Punjab as it recorded minimum temperature of 2.9°C.
Now, the question arises whether Cyclone Ditwah will impact Punjab or not? (Cyclone Ditwah Impact on Punjab, Cyclone Ditwah Impact Punjab Weather) Continue reading below to know the answer-
Well, the answer is no. Cyclone Ditwah will not impact Punjab's Weather directly. According to IMD, Cyclone Ditwah is likely to cross the north Tamil Nadu-Puducherry coast by early November 30. The weather office has forecast heavy rainfall in the southern and Cauvery delta districts of the state from November 29 to 30.
The weather department has also mentioned that the cyclonic storm is presently centred over coastal areas of Sri Lanka and adjoining parts of the southwest Bay of Bengal, around 480 km south of Chennai, and is moving in a north-northwestward direction.
Therefore, Cyclone Ditwah will not directly impact Punjab Weather. However, it may pose an indirect impact on Punjab Winter. As per TOI, there can be some indirect effects on North India's weather including Punjab. For example, Punjab and other North Indian states may witness a brief rise in minimum temperatures and possible changes in pollution and fog patterns.
