The cold wave conditions are very likely in isolated pockets over Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi and Rajasthan on January 15, 16, said the IMD.
It also added that a fresh spell of dense to very dense fog is very likely in isolated pockets during night and morning hours over Punjab and Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi during January 14-16.
The IMD said that cold day to severe cold day conditions are very likely to continue in some parts of Uttar Pradesh on January 11, while cold day conditions are also very likely to continue in isolated pockets over Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi on January 11 and over Bihar on January 11-13.
"The rise in minimum temperatures by about 2 degrees Celsius very is likely over many parts of Northwest India by January 12 morning; no significant change by January 13 and gradual fall by 3-5 degrees Celsius during January 14-16.
The gradual rise in minimum temperatures by 2-4 degrees Celsius is very likely over many parts of East India during next three days and no significant change thereafter.
