The weather in Guru Nanak Dev has taken a turn. Mornings and evenings are getting colder, and open areas are becoming hazy due to smog. The increasing cold has prompted people to wear warmer clothing. However, the afternoon sunshine brings the weather back to normal.
A change in the weather was observed on Sunday morning. The temperature dropped in the morning and evening, leading to a chilly breeze, and driving through open areas with lights on made driving difficult. Winter has already arrived, but by afternoon, the intense sunlight once again pushed temperatures higher, forcing people to experience two seasons in one day. At night, people feel as if there is fog, but this is not fog, but smog. Therefore, people will need to take care of their health. According to the Meteorological Department, a slight drop in temperatures is expected in the next 24 hours. The cold will gradually intensify as the difference between morning and night temperatures increases. Furthermore, light rain is expected in the coming days due to a western disturbance. If it rains, the city’s air will become cleaner and pollution levels will improve.
Caution advised due to smog
Stubble burning in rural areas is polluting the air and causing smog in the sky, causing breathing problems. Health experts have advised people to wear masks when leaving their homes. However, such rapid fluctuations in weather can have health effects on the elderly and young children. Doctors have advised people to wear warm clothing in the morning and evening and be cautious to prevent colds and flu during the changing weather.
In Amritsar, the mood of the city also changed along with the weather.
The weather also affected the city markets. The purchase of winter collections was seen increasing at clothing stores. After a morning stroll in Company Bagh, people are seen sipping hot tea at Lawrence Road Chowk and Cooper Road, which is why the area is crowded both morning and evening. Overall, the current weather in Amritsar has changed the mood of the city. The morning chill, afternoon sunshine, and evening balmyness have begun to make residents feel the approaching winter.
