Therefore, the weather department advised residents to limit exposure during late night and early morning periods.

Officials urged special care for vulnerable groups. Children, elderly persons, and those with existing health conditions were advised to take precautions.

Cold related ailments such as respiratory infections and joint pain may increase during such conditions. Hence, health authorities asked people to use warm clothing and avoid prolonged exposure to cold winds.

Meteorologists attributed the cold wave to northerly winds and clear night skies. These conditions allow rapid heat loss from the surface, leading to sharp temperature drops.

Meanwhile, no rainfall is forecast during this period, which may further sustain low night temperatures.

The IMD continues to monitor the situation closely. It may issue further advisories based on temperature trends.
