The weather has changed in North India. Snowfall in the hilly states and continuous rain in many parts of the country have brought a chill. Chills are now felt in the mornings and evenings in plain areas like Delhi-NCR, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh.
In many places, people have stopped using fans, coolers, or ACs at night. The chill is gradually intensifying, and people are resorting to light blankets.
New spell of rain in southern and northeastern states

Rain has stopped in Rajasthan, sunshine will bring back the beauty
According to the Meteorological Department, the rains in Rajasthan have now stopped. Starting October 9th, the state’s weather will remain dry and the skies will be clear.

The snowfall has affected vehicular movement on the Manali-Leh highway, and vehicles heading to Leh have been stopped at Darcha for safety reasons.
