Amritsar November 17, 2025 : The weather has taken a turn in the holy city. Cold has increased during the mornings and evenings, and due to the spread of smog in open areas, the atmosphere has started to appear foggy. With the rising cold, people have started wearing warm clothes. Meanwhile, the afternoon sunshine makes the weather feel normal.
A change in weather was noticed on Sunday morning. Due to the drop in temperature during mornings and evenings and the flow of cold winds, the chill has increased. In open areas, vehicles were seen moving with their headlights on because of the fog-like conditions. Winter has now begun to set in, but by afternoon, the strong sunlight pushed the temperature up again, making people experience two different weather conditions in a single day. At night, people feel as if there is fog, but it is not fog — it is smog. People need to take care of their health because of this. According to the Met Department, a slight drop in temperature may be recorded in the next 24 hours. With the growing difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures, the cold will gradually intensify. Also, due to the influence of a western disturbance in the coming days, there is a possibility of light rain. If it rains, the city’s air will become cleaner and the pollution level will improve.
Advice to stay cautious due to smog-filled air
Due to stubble burning in rural areas, the air is becoming polluted and smog has spread across the sky, causing difficulty in breathing for people. Health experts have advised people to wear masks when stepping outside. On the other hand, such rapid weather fluctuations may affect the health of the elderly and young children. Doctors have advised people to wear warm clothes in the mornings and evenings and to stay cautious to avoid cold and flu as the weather changes.
Along with the weather, the mood of the city has also changed in Amritsar
The city markets also reflected the impact of the weather. Winter collection purchases increased at clothing stores. After morning walks in Company Bagh, people can be seen drinking hot tea at Lawrence Road Chowk and Cooper Road, where crowds gather in the mornings and evenings. Overall, the current weather in Amritsar has changed the mood of the city. The morning chill, afternoon sunshine, and light evening coolness have started giving residents a glimpse of the upcoming winter season.

The holy city experienced a sudden weather shift as temperatures fell, cold conditions intensified, and smog spread across the area, reducing visibility and affecting daily life.
