Snowfall expected in hills next week, Gurgaon set to shiver

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts a drop in minimum temperature next week due to a fresh western disturbance from the Himalayas. This disturbance may cause snowfall in Himachal Pradesh and rain in lower areas. Western disturbances are cyclonic storms that commonly occur during the winter months. Meanwhile, the air quality in Gurgaon remained poor for the seventh consecutive day. The city's AQI was 242, with pollutants exceeding permissible limits. In Delhi, the weather was foggy in the morning but cleared later. The capital's AQI deteriorated marginally to 324, falling within the very poor category.
