This morning, very dense fog was observed over specific locations like Amritsar, Chandigarh, Patiala, Ambala, Ganganagar, Palam, Safdarjung, and Lucknow, with visibility dropping to zero meters.

The IMD predicts that minimum temperatures will range from 3 to 7 degrees Celsius across most parts of Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, north Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Bihar in the coming days. Foggy conditions are expected to persist for several hours during the night and morning in Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand.
