The frigid embrace of a cold wave has tightened its grip over northern India, casting a frosty pallor over the national capital and its surrounding regions. As the mercury plunges, the city of Delhi finds itself shrouded in dense fog, significantly reducing visibility and triggering a cascade of disruptions in various modes of transportation.

Today Weather forecast:

Today, the minimum temperature in Delhi is anticipated to linger around 7 degrees Celsius, providing a chilly backdrop for the day’s activities. The maximum temperature, however, may ascend to a relatively milder 22 degrees Celsius. The day is expected to unfold with the mercury holding steady at approximately 10 degrees Celsius, accompanied by a gentle wind speed of 2.43, moving in a direction of 292 degrees with a gust speed of 3.1. The sun will make its appearance at 07:15 AM, bidding adieu at 05:44 PM this Sunday.

Looking ahead, the seven-day weather forecast for Delhi paints a chilly picture. The temperature is poised to dip further, touching 10 degrees Celsius on Sunday, 11 degrees Celsius on Monday, 13 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, and maintaining a consistent 12 degrees Celsius from Wednesday through Saturday.

Impact on Transportation:

The relentless cold wave has not spared the transportation sector, particularly in Delhi. On Thursday, low visibility resulting from the thick fog disrupted train services, causing delays in the schedules of 26 Delhi-bound trains. The railway network struggled to operate seamlessly as the bone-chilling weather posed challenges for both passengers and the rail infrastructure.

The aviation industry has also felt the icy sting of the weather conditions. Operations at the Delhi airport witnessed delays due to the reduced visibility caused by the blanket of fog. Flights were affected, causing inconveniences for both travelers and airline operators as they navigated through the challenging weather conditions.
