New Delhi: Due to changing weather patterns across the country, various regions are expected to experience light to moderate rainfall accompanied by strong winds. Meanwhile, in the Delhi-NCR region, haze and fog are likely to intensify in the coming days. Furthermore, a low-pressure area over the central Bay of Bengal is highly likely to intensify into a ‘cyclonic storm.’
