A noticeable rise in both day and night temperatures marked the weather across Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula during the past 24 hours.

At 11.8°C, Mohali recorded the warmest night in Punjab, significantly higher than most stations across the state. The night was markedly mild even when compared to neighbouring plains, and much warmer than the nearby hills, which remained considerably colder.

Across Punjab, most stations recorded much lower minimum temperatures — Faridkot 4.5°C, Bathinda 8.3°C, Pathankot 6.5°C and Hoshiarpur 5.3°C — underlining the exceptional warmth of Mohali’s 11.8°C reading.

Relative humidity in Chandigarh ranged between 86% (maximum) and 32% (minimum), with no rainfall reported.

The forecast for the next five days shows partly cloudy conditions from Thursday through Monday. Maximum temperatures are expected to hover between 24°C and 25°C, while the minimum will range from 7°C to 9°C.
