Weather Update: Dense Fog Returns to Delhi-NCR, Visibility Drops Sharply

Delhi-NCR witnessed a fresh spell of dense fog on Friday morning, severely impacting visibility across several parts of the region. Thick fog covered key areas including Dwarka, Akshardham, and Dhaula Kuan, reducing visibility to extremely low levels and causing inconvenience to commuters. As people stepped out early in the morning, they were met with poor visibility conditions, increasing the risk of road accidents. The mercury has dipped further, intensifying the cold wave and adding to the discomfort of residents. The combination of falling temperatures, dense fog, and persistent pollution has made weather conditions harsher across the national capital region. Many areas reported near-zero visibility for a brief period, disrupting normal traffic movement and slowing down vehicular flow. The Meteorological Department has advised people to avoid unnecessary travel during early morning hours, especially when visibility remains low. Authorities have also urged motorists to drive cautiously and use fog lights to prevent accidents. With pollution levels still high, breathing difficulties and health concerns continue to trouble residents. Weather experts warn that such foggy conditions may persist in the coming days due to prevailing cold wave conditions. Residents are advised to take precautions, stay warm, and remain alert while commuting.
