New Delhi, December 20, 2024: Delhi experienced dense fog and a sharp chill this morning as temperatures continued to dip, causing widespread disruptions. The mercury dropped further, with the minimum temperature recorded at 4°C, significantly lower than the seasonal average for the capital.
The dense fog has led to poor visibility, affecting both road and air traffic. Many flights have been delayed or diverted, and several trains have been canceled or are running late due to low visibility on tracks. The morning rush hour saw slow-moving traffic, as commuters faced difficulty navigating through the thick fog.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an orange alert for the region, forecasting similar weather conditions for the next few days. Authorities have advised people to take precautions, especially those with respiratory conditions, and to avoid unnecessary travel during peak fog hours.
