Delhi weather update
Delhi woke up to dense fog on Thursday morning, causing a sharp drop in temperatures and significant reductions in visibility throughout the city. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert, warning residents of possible disruptions due to the fog and advising caution. According to the IMD's forecast, the capital is expected to experience "smog/moderate fog at most places and dense fog at isolated locations" throughout the day. Surface winds are predicted to reach speeds of up to 15 km/h, which may further impact visibility and make outdoor activities difficult, it stated.
The city's temperature is expected to range between 17°C as the maximum and 8°C as the minimum. Despite the chilly morning, IMD has indicated that Delhi and its neighbouring areas will experience "above-normal temperatures" in January.
