This sudden spate of rain has also affected the ongoing Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj and is going to continue for another 4-5 days as per weather department updates. It might affect the devotees planning a trip to Prayagraj as well.  At the same time, high-altitude regions in Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh continue to suffer from heavy snowfall.

This has also affected transportation as the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway is shut down due to snowfall. According to a transportation department official, they had to close the highway as Jawahar Tunnel was covered in deep snow, which made it impossible for people to drive through. On the other hand, cold has increased in Punjab and other regions because of the continuing rainfall.
