Thick fog to engulf North India over next 4 days

January 06, 2021 22:20

Parts of North India, including Delhi, are likely to be engulfed in a thick blanket of fog for the next four days as the rains will abate and temperatures will dip once again, the Indian Meteorological Department said on Wednesday.

The weather department has said that the rains that have lashed North India for the past several days will abate as the western disturbances are weakening.

The cloud cover had kept the minimum temperatures high since Sunday as clouds trap some of the outgoing infrared radiation and radiate it back downwards, warming the ground. However, as the cloud cover will lift on Thursday morning, the temperature is also likely to dip.

On Wednesday, the minimum temperature in Delhi was recorded at 13 degrees Celsius, six notches more than normal. However, the Met department predicts the mercury will fall again to 4 to 5 degrees Celsius starting tomorrow.
