The India Meteorological Department has issued a warning for Delhi and the area around it. They are telling people to be careful because of thick fog and really cold weather. This warning is because it is getting very cold in Delhi and there is a lot of fog. The fog is so thick that you can not see far especially in the morning and, at night. The India Meteorological Department is warning people about this because the temperature has gone down a lot and the fog is not going away.
The weather people say that Delhi-NCR will have thick fog in many places especially in the morning. This fog will make it very hard to see and in some areas it will be very dangerous. The people who study the weather think that on roads and highways you will not be able to see more, than 100 metres at times. This means there could be a lot of car accidents and traffic problems because of the fog. Delhi-NCR will have to be careful when they are driving in the fog.
The weather people said that it is really cold outside. The temperature is lower than it usually is at this time of year. This is because of the air coming from the north. Some places are even colder than others. The authorities are telling people to be especially old people, kids and people who have trouble breathing. The weather department is warning people about the weather. The cold northerly winds are making it feel even colder. People need to take care to stay warm especially the elderly, children and those, with respiratory illnesses because of the cold weather.
The fog is really bad. It is causing a lot of problems for people who are trying to get around. People who are driving to work are saying that the traffic is moving slowly on the main roads. The trains are also running late because it is hard to see. The airlines are warning people who are flying that their flights might be late. They might have to change the time of their flight especially for the early morning flights, from Delhi airport. The fog is affecting road traffic, rail traffic and air traffic over the place.
The people at the Indian Meteorological Department said that the weather we are having now is because of the amount of moisture in the air the calm winds and the cool nights. These things together make it easy for fog to form. Since there is no change, in the weather coming from the west that can make things better it is likely that it will stay cold and foggy for the next few days. The Indian Meteorological Department officials think that the weather will stay like this.
People who know a lot about health are telling us to be careful when it’s cold outside. We should not stay out in the cold for long. It is an idea to wear a lot of clothes on top of each other to stay warm. We should also try to stay indoors when it’s really foggy outside.
Doctors are worried that the cold weather and the bad air we breathe can make it harder for some people to breathe. This is especially true for people who have asthma and heart problems. The doctors want people, with asthma and heart problems to be extra careful when it is cold and foggy outside.
The people in charge of the city are telling drivers to turn on their fog lights when it’s hard to see. They also want drivers to leave plenty of space, between cars and not drive fast when it is foggy.
The schools and offices need to pay attention to what the weather forecast says especially if the weather gets really bad.
The IMD stated that the yellow alert serves as an early warning, urging preparedness rather than panic. Residents have been advised to regularly follow official weather bulletins as Delhi continues to experience one of its colder winter spells this season.
