North India Shivers Under Cold Wave As IMD Issues Red Alert, Warns For Dense Fog In Several States

Weather Warning: Residents of Delhi and the adjoining National Capital Region (NCR) woke up to a dense, hazy morning on Monday, with most parts of the region covered under a thick layer of smog. Several parts of India, especially North India, are witnessing dense fog and a cold wave today. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), cold wave conditions are expected to intensify in North Indian states like Punjab, Delhi, and Haryana; however, the skies will be clear during the daytime.

“Dense to very dense fog conditions are very likely to continue during night/morning hours over North India during the next 7 days,” the weather department said.

The weather department has issued a yellow alert in the national capital for dense to very dense fog in the morning. The dense fog reduces visibility and increases the chances of road mishaps. A yellow alert for dense fog was also issued for Himachal Pradesh. However, there is no chance of rain in Delhi.
