The cold season in India, spanning December to February, features decreased temperatures across the nation. Northern regions encounter freezing temperatures, especially in higher altitudes. Northeast monsoon winds bring some rainfall to southern coastal areas, while northwesterly winds induce cold and dry conditions in the north. Clear skies prevail with occasional fog and mist in the northern plains, affecting visibility. Minimal precipitation occurs, with sporadic snowfall in Himalayan regions. This season witnesses the cultivation and harvesting of Rabi crops.
The temperature ranges between 10°-15°C in the northern plains. The weather is usually marked by clear sky, low temperatures and low humidity and feeble variable winds. The inflow of the cyclonic disturbances from the west and the northwest is a characteristic feature of the cold weather over the northern plains. These low-pressure systems originate over the Mediterranean Sea and Western Asia and move into India. They cause winter rains over the plains and snowfall in the mountains.
