As per Skymet Weather, the reason for this weather condition prevailing over Delhi and NCR can be attributed to the seasonal weather pattern. Skymet Weather reiterates that recently Delhi and the adjoining Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad, and Ghaziabad were under the influence of an active Western Disturbance that gave some widespread rain over Delhi and NCR.

Additionally, it resulted in the snow in the Western Himalayan region. It was after the passage of this weather system, that dry and cool winds from the snow-clad hills of North India blew over the region. The wind speed also paced up to moderate.
The combined effect of all these factors resulted in dropping the temperatures and curtailing the pollution levels as well. Due to this, the wintery chill could be felt in parts of Delhi and NCR.
As the wind speed is still moderate, dense fog formation is also not taking place. Moreover, as of now, the pollution levels are also not expected to make a comeback as of now. Thus, for the next 3-4 days, Delhiites are expected to witness a fog and smog free Delhi.
