Delhi: The National Capital Under Thick Fog

Delhi: A blanket of fog enveloped the national capital on Saturday morning with minimum temperature settling at 12 degrees Celsius.

A MeT department official that relative humidity was 100 per cent at 8.30 am.

The maximum temperature is expected to hover around 24 degrees Celsius, he said.

solutions body vice president Mahesh Palawat tweeted that there was a dense fog over Palam and visibility was zero in the morning.

By 9 am, the air quality index (AQI) was ‘moderate’ at 157, according to the Central Pollution Control Board data.

The air quality in Delhi-NCR improved to “satisfactory” on Friday for the first time in around two months due to rains and favourable wind speed over the last two to three days.

However, it was forecast to dip slightly on Saturday due to a change in wind direction and drop in wind speed.

Delhi Airport

The Airport also posted a fog alarm at 4.30 am, warning travellers about the implementation of poor visibility procedures. “At Delhi Airport, low visibility procedures are in effect. At this time, all flight operations are regular. The airline in question should be contacted by passengers for the most recent flight information “read the tweet.

At 5:30 am today, IMD published a list of the states with the lowest recorded visibility (in metres). In Bathinda, the visibility was zero.

 

In Amritsar, Ganganagar, Patiala, Delhi (Palam), and Lucknow, the visibility was 25. Visibility was 50 as far as Delhi (SFD) and Purnea were concerned. There are 200 people seen in Ambala and Agra. In Gorakhpur, the visibility was 300. 500 people were seen in Bareilly, Patna, Gaya, and Kolkata.

On Sunday morning, the nation’s capital was engulfed in thick fog, which made it difficult to see in some areas. Meanwhile, earlier on Sunday, a collision involving 22 cars on the Yamuna Nagar section of the Ambala-Saharanpur highway resulted in at least 12 injuries.

According to sources, fog-related reduced visibility was to blame for the accident. After Tuesday’s temperature decrease, a heavy blanket of fog covered Bhubaneswar, the state capital of Odisha.

Because of the fog, it was difficult to see in the area, and even during the day, you could see cars driving with their headlights on. For the past few days, there has been extremely little visibility owing to severe fog in a number of states.
