CHANDIGARH: The meteorological department has predicted some more windy days ahead and fluctuation in the night temperature. Even though there would be no change in the day temperature, nights will get colder in the next 48 hours, predicts the weatherman.
Surinder Pal, director of the meteorological department said, "Western disturbances in Northern Pakistan and
Jammu and Kashmir were the reason behind the windy weather during this time of the year." He added that the weather will continue to remain like this for the next four-five days, while the air will be moisture-laden.
But the dusty, windy conditions are irking city residents. "It is getting really difficult to ride a two-wheeler or a rickshaw in windy conditions and one needs to cover one's face for protection from dust," said Simran Kaur, a resident of Sector 16.
Shubhangi Sharma, another resident of Sector 15 said, "It is very dusty during the day, while the nights are really cold. Sometimes even sun glasses don't provide much protection from the dust."
Tanvi Mander, a student of MCM DAV College said, "The weather is autumn-like. Winter is receding, but residents it seems will have to put up with strong winds for some more days."
