Weather conditions across the country continue to fluctuate. While daytime temperatures are giving a feeling of warmth, nights remain cold in many regions. Due to the impact of western disturbances, rainfall activity has also been observed in some states. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), minimum temperatures in eastern India are likely to gradually rise by about 2–3°C over the next three days. After that, no significant change is expected. This indicates that summer is slowly approaching eastern parts of the country.

The IMD has forecast rainfall in Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand on February 11. Light to moderate rain and snowfall are also expected at isolated places in these areas on February 14 and 15. Thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and gusty winds (30–40 kmph) are likely during this period. On February 16, light rain may also occur in Haryana, Punjab, and Chandigarh.
