The state of Haryana is in the grip of cold wave these days. Due to the effect of this cold wave, the day and night temperatures have dropped significantly. The minimum temperature in Hisar was recorded at 1.7 degrees Celsius, which is a drop of 2.4 degrees from the previous days. Similarly, the maximum day temperature in Rohtak also fell below 20 degrees to 18.6 degrees Celsius.

Effect of mountain winds increased cold in Haryana
According to weather expert Chandramohan, the cold in the state has increased due to the mountain winds blowing from the northwest. However, due to the speed of these winds being 8 to 10 kilometers per hour, fog and mist are not spreading, which has brought some relief.

This alert includes Kurukshetra, Kaithal, Karnal, Sirsa, Fatehabad, Hisar, Bhiwani, Rohtak, Jhajjar, Charkhi Dadri, Mahendragarh, Rewari, Gurugram, Faridabad, Mewat and Palwal.

Safety measures for citizens
Citizens need to take extra precautions in this cold season. It is advisable to wear warm clothes, use heaters in homes and be properly prepared while going out. Consumption of hot drinks such as tea and coffee is also useful to avoid cold.
