Cold Wave and Dense Fog Persist Across Northern India, Delhi Records Season's Lowest Temperature

Northern India, including Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, and Chandigarh, is experiencing a persistent cold wave with temperatures plunging to near or below freezing in several areas. Delhi recorded its coldest morning of the season at 2.9°C, with other locations like Hisar in Haryana dropping to 0.2°C. Dense fog has significantly reduced visibility, disrupting air and rail traffic, and prompting multiple weather alerts including yellow and red warnings. The cold wave is expected to continue for a few more days, with a slight temperature rise anticipated later in the week. Air quality remains very poor in Delhi amid these conditions.
