Republic Day Weather Forecast Warns Of Dense Fog, Very Low Visibility

According to the prediction, visibility will dip to as low as 100 metres till 8.30 am before it begins improving to 500-800 metres by 10 am and further to 800-1,500 metres by 10.30 am, the prediction said, with an accompanying orange alert that is sounded as a general caution for people to be careful because of the weather.

While IMD forecasts are often wanting for accuracy, the fog is likely to clear up enough for people to have a general view of the Republic Day parade, which will start from Vijay Chowk, cross the Kartavya Path and culminate at the Red Fort, when it starts at 10.30 am.

The alert for Friday also includes prediction of “cold day” conditions in isolated places of Delhi. The maximum is expected to be between 17°C and 20°C at India Gate and the minimum to hover between 5°C and 7°C. No rain is expected.
