Winter in India brings both beauty and challenge from misty mornings to cold winds sweeping across the plains and hills. But the winter of 2025 could demand more preparation than usual.
Meteorological experts suggest that India might face one of its coldest winters in recent decades. The reason is La Niña, a global weather pattern that cools the Pacific Ocean and alters weather across continents.
For India, La Niña often strengthens cold winds and extends winter spells, particularly across northern and Himalayan states. This year, forecasts indicate heavier snowfall, prolonged cold waves, and record-low temperatures across several regions.
These conditions go beyond discomfort. Farmers could face crop stress, while children and the elderly may be more vulnerable to cold-related illnesses. Early preparation heating systems, warm clothing, and crop protection will help reduce the impact.
Winter’s calm can be beautiful, but nature often reminds us that even gentle seasons test resilience. Staying ready, not fearful, is the best way to face the coming chill.
