According to the weather experts at the Punjab Agricultural University, the spell of cold wave would persist as rain is likely for the next three days.

“Cloud cover and rain are largely due to the western disturbances. Though thundershowers are expected on January 7, some respite is likely on January 9,” the experts said.

“Moderate to dense fog is likely to appear over most areas on January 5 due to low temperatures and availability of moisture,” the experts said.

Weather since December 31 has largely remained sunny providing much needed respite for the freezing cold wave that had swept the region. At 8.4°C on December 25, the city had witnessed its coldest Christmas day in 50 years.
