Winter coming early in India this year? Rain brings sharp temperature drop; should you take out winter clothes?

Mausam Weather Forecast: Widespread rainfall across several parts of India has triggered a noticeable change in weather, with temperatures falling sharply in North India, particularly Delhi-NCR. The sudden chill has raised questions about whether winter is arriving earlier than usual this year and whether people should start taking out their winter clothes. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast further rainfall and thunderstorms in several states, while Delhi and neighbouring areas could see some relief from the showers in the coming days. Here's a look at the latest IMD weather forecast, how temperatures are expected to change in the coming days and whether the recent cold spell signals an early start to winter or is only a temporary weather change.
