Cloudy skies bring down temperature in Amritsar

Amritsar, February 18

After a long spell of sunny days, overcast skies on Sunday brought down the day temperature. Those who had started wearing T-shirts or avoided use of woollens in the past few days were seen in woollens and others made arrangements to save themselves from cold.

Sneha Kapoor, a resident, said most of the people were not wearing woollens and jackets as there had been several hot sunny afternoons. So most of them thought that cold weather was ebbing away. However today’s change in weather reminded them of shivering cold which had gripped the region a couple of weeks back.

Simranjit Singh, another resident, said cold weather reminded them of the long spell of shivering cold so people immediately put on jackets over their pullovers. “We were expecting rain, but it did not and overcast skies remained throughout the day.” It made the weather cold but it could not be categorised as shivering cold. After a long spell of sunny days in winter, overcast skies brought back some cold.
