Thick fog continues to envelop Delhi and several major cities in India, as the cold wave stretches into 2025, affecting the national capital and other regions. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), visibility at Delhi's airports on Thursday was recorded at zero meters, with similar conditions reported in Gwalior, Agra, Amritsar, and Pathankot. A dense blanket of fog has significantly impacted visibility, causing disruptions in transport across the country, particularly in the northern and central regions.
The IMD also reported the presence of fog and low clouds over northwest, central, east, and northeast India, with patches of fog extending to coastal Andhra Pradesh. With the ongoing cold wave, residents in various states continue to endure dropping temperatures and low visibility, leading to a challenging start to the New Year.
