Quotes
Dr Anupam Kashyapi
former head of the Weather Forecaster and Crop Advisor at IMD
“One of the causes for the chill is that the sky has been clear since the departure of the South West Monsoon. A cloudless sky allows the radiation of the sun, which warms the Earth’s surface during the day, to escape rapidly in the evenings and the night, which bring about a significant drop in temperature.”

“The third cause of the feeling of more cold is the dry atmosphere that does not trap the moisture.”
