Nights Turn Colder as Smog Deepens

Nights across Delhi-NCR are turning colder with temperatures dipping to around 17 degrees in the capital. Early mornings and late evenings now feel chilly, prompting residents to take out light woollens.

However, the fall in temperature has also intensified smog, as cold air traps pollutants near the ground. Health experts have advised people especially children and the elderly to avoid outdoor activities during early hours.

According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), light fog is expected in Delhi-NCR from October 19 to 22. The weather may turn slightly clearer after this period, but no major change in temperatures is expected.

The IMD has warned that the fog could reduce visibility in the early mornings, possibly affecting road and air traffic. Residents have been urged to plan their travel accordingly as pollution and fog together may cause delays.
