A thick blanket of fog engulfed Delhi and its surroundings, severely impacting visibility and leading to traffic disruptions. The India Meteorological Department issued a red alert for "very dense fog" as cold wave conditions persisted across north India. In Delhi, the Palam observatory near the airport recorded a mere 50 meters of visibility, creating hazardous travel conditions. The air quality also plummeted to a "very poor" level, with the average Air Quality Index at 381. Commuters faced challenges, and the Delhi airport, while maintaining operations, cautioned travelers about potential delays due to the prevailing weather conditions.
