A significant weather system is bringing cooler conditions to Delhi-NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and hill states across North India. The change in weather patterns has been marked by a noticeable dip in daytime and evening temperatures, signaling an early onset of winter conditions in the region.

Rainfall has been reported across multiple parts of northern India, with some areas experiencing heavy downpours accompanied by strong gusty winds. In several locations, thunderstorms with lightning have also been observed, adding to the unsettled weather pattern affecting the region.

According to the India Meteorological Department, rainfall is expected to persist, with forecasts indicating precipitation across 23 states and union territories as of October 13.
