At least 25 people have died in a “cold snap” sweeping across northern India, state-run broadcaster All India Radio has said.
 
The majority of deaths were in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana are among the other northern states badly hit.
 
Most deaths were among homeless and elderly people.
 
The capital Delhi is also affected by the cold spell, with temperatures dipping to 7C and fog disrupting flight schedules.
 
Dense fog has also affected train services and flights in Rajasthan, where temperatures fell to 3.8C.
 
An official from the India Meteorological Department said the cold weather would continue for a number of days.

Temperatures are plummeting in Asia, and China is battered by one “cold snap” after another.  There are so many “cold snaps” in so many places on the northern hemisphere, all at the same time, and these “cold snaps” are followed by new cold snaps. The worst of winter is yet to come. And now Sunspot Cycle 24 is near its peak, what will happen in a few years when the little solar activity we are having now, will end?
