Delhi and NCR observes shallow fog
Feb 6, 2017 06:30 AM
Delhi including the surrounding areas was observing fog-free mornings for a long time. Minimums over these regions have increased giving a feel like of abatement of fog and end of winter chills.
However, fog made a comeback once again over a few areas of northwest plains including the national capital. Areas like Janakpuri and Faridabad observed shallow fog. The visibility recorded at the Palam airport, Delhi early morning today was 100 meters. This has further led to disruptions in air traffic.
Close to seven flights departing from Indira Gandhi airport, Delhi faced delays or rescheduling. Check the flight status here:
As per Skymet weather, the reason for fog to make a comeback in northwest India including Delhi and adjoining regions can be attributed to the recent occurrence of light rains at a few parts over northwest plains. These light rains further led the minimum temperatures to drop once again also leading to increase in humidity levels.

Moreover, light wind speed too made its contributions in letting the fog to rise once again over Delhi and NCR. The reason for these rains can be attributed to active Western Disturbance over North Pakistan and adjoining parts of Jammu and Kashmir, and its induced cyclonic circulation over Central Pakistan and adjoining areas.
As of now, the similar weather pattern is expected to persist and shallow fog is likely to continue in Delhi and its surrounding regions for another 2-3 days.

This weather activity has managed to keep fog free Delhi with only Palam observatory recording shallow fog with visibility dropping to 1100 metres. Visibility over rest parts of the city is clear with partly cloudy to cloudy sky prevailing over the region. This fresh spell of rainfall is due to the approach of Western Disturbance over the hilly regions of Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh; along with this the cyclonic circulation over central Pakistan and adjoining Punjab has given light rains over Punjab, Haryana and Delhi. But looking at the current scenario for Delhi-NCR, weather patterns will see a change wherein minimum temperatures will rise giving Delhi relief from cold wave conditions. Few areas of Delhi may see light rain today as well. Post this short rainy spell, the wind pattern is likely to change; cold and dry northwesterly winds are now replaced by relatively warm and humid south-easterlies.

Fog to make a comeback in Delhi-NCR
Dec 23, 2016 07:00 AM
For the past few days, dense fog continues to give Delhi and the NCR a miss. So much so that the region has been witnessing fog free mornings for quite some time now. Friday morning was another such morning when fog remained far away from almost the entire Delhi-NCR. However, the Palam Airport witnessed moderate fog with the visibility dropping to 300 metres. These conditions could be attributed to a few localized factors including greenery and dew point which lead to the formation of fog. Due to fog at the airport at least 42 trains are running late with two being rescheduled. Not only this, three international flights have been delayed and one domestic flight has been cancelled. There have been some areas in the national capital and its adjoining areas where shallow fog was witnessed. Faridabad and other adjoining areas did observe shallow fog. In fact, shallow fog was observed in parts of Noida as well. As per weathermen at Skymet, moderate to dense fog is expected to make a comeback soon. So much so that within the next 24 hours, the city could witness foggy mornings once again. These conditions will be attributed to the change in the wind pattern from westerly to easterly.
Another fog free morning for Delhi NCR
Dec 20, 2016 7:25 AM
As reiterated by Skymet Weather, Delhi continued to witness fog free morning on Wednesday as well. Almost all places reported good visibility conditions. Palam Observatory reported visibility of 1500 meters, while Safdarjung observed visibility of 800 meters. Reason behind the absence of fog from the region can be attributed to the dry and cold northwesterly winds blowing over the region. Moreover, these winds have picked up pace during the last 24 hours, leading to further abatement of fog from the isolated pockets. #fog+FogInDelhi Tweets As of now, no active Western Disturbance is seen affecting Western Himalayas, which could cut off the flow of northwesterly winds. A system is likely to affect the region but it will be a feeble one and would affect the higher reaches of Jammu and Kashmir only. With this, similar weather conditions will prevail over Delhi NCR at least for another 24 hours.
Fog continues to abate Delhi NCR
Dec 20, 2016 7:20 AM
Dense fog has been abating Delhi-NCR for many consecutive days now. According to Skymet Weather, in absence of any active Western Disturbance, cold and dry northwesterly winds have been blowing over entire northwestern plains. These winds are moderate in nature and did not let the formation of the fog over the national capital. However, isolated places did witness shallow to moderate fog such as Palam Observatory, where visibility dropped to 400 meters. But this was purely based on the localized factors as it is an open area with lots of greenery. #fog+FogInDelhi Tweets In wake of this, seven flights that were set to depart from Delhi were cancelled, while two were delayed. Similarly, 5 Delhi-bound flight were cancelled and three were delayed. The fog will lift up very early as sun comes up and flights will start plying as per their schedule. Meanwhile, rest of places including national capital areas reported no fog with good visibility conditions. Further, we do not expect any major change in the weather in the coming days as well. No active Western Disturbance is expected to affect the Western Himalayas that could obstruct the flow of northwesterlies. As a result, we do not expect dense fog to make comeback for at least next 48 hours.

Delhi-NCR wakes up to another fog free morning
Dec 18, 2016 07:00 AM
It’s been a while that the infamous fog of Delhi NCR showed up. Along with the fog, the winter chill over Delhi and NCR region seems to be on the weaker side. As of today morning the residents of Delhi NCR woke up to another fog free morning. This happens to be the sixth consecutive day where almost no fog was observed. Delhi experienced a temperature of 8.2°C temperature yesterday and today also such temperatures are expected. Having said this, few places in Noida experienced very shallow fog this morning. Areas like sector 125 and sector 37 in Noida are the areas which experienced very shallow fog.
However, the visibility was low at the Palam Airport at 400 metres during the early morning hours. Such clear weather can be experienced thanks to the dry northwesterly winds have picked up pace.

Staurday morning was a fog free morning for almost the entire city and its adjoining areas. However, the visibility was slightly low at the Palam Airport at 600 metres during the early morning hours. At present, the dry northwesterly winds have picked up pace which is why foggy mornings continue to abate the national capital.

Fourth fog free morning for national capital
Dec 16, 2016 07:30 AM
It seems like foggy mornings have turned their way against Delhi and the NCR region. Fog has bid adieu to the national capital at least for time now. On Friday morning, Delhiites woke up to a clear, fog free morning for the fourth consecutive time. These weather conditions can be attributed to the dry northwesterly winds which have been blowing over the region, keeping foggy conditions far away. The entire city including RK Puram, Janakpuri, Dilshad Garden, Noida, Gurugram, East of Kailash, Anand Vihar and other parts witnessed a fog free morning. These conditions are expected to stay at least for the next two days or so. The weather will change and foggy mornings will only make a comeback when the southeasterly winds will start blowing over the region.
Dense fog abates Delhi-NCR for 3rd consecutive day
Dec 15, 2016 7:20 AM
As predicted by Skymet Weather, dense fog continued to abate Delhi-NCR for the third consecutive day. All thanks to the continuous flow of dry and cold northwesterly winds which has kept fog at bay. However, few areas are still witnessing shallow to moderate fog. For instance, Palam Observatory reported moderate fog with visibility dropping to 350 meters but this drop in visibility was due to localized factors. Meanwhile, R K Puram, East of Kailash, Uttar Nagar, Dhaula Kuan, Green Park, AIIMS, South Extension, Rajaouri Garden, Noida, and Faridabad reported no fog with normal visibility conditions. Further, we expect similar conditions to continue at least for another 24 to 48 hours. Thereafter, a fresh Western Disturbance is likely to affect Jammu and Kashmir, which will again change the wind pattern to warm and humid southeasterlies. This will once again mark the comeback of fog over the region.
Fog in Delhi: Fog continues to fizzle out from Delhi-NCR
Dec 14, 2016 07:30 am
The dominant foggy weather of Delhi seems to have been fizzing out as the winter progresses. The winters started with a bang when dense fog engulfed most of the northern plains including Delhi-NCR. But dry winds from east direction are slowly making the fog disappear from the city. With fog clearing up, the temperatures are likely to go down as snowfall did occur over Gulmarg and Phalgam in Kashmir. But yesterday there was a discomfort in the weather as the minimum over the national capital was recorded at 10.4°C which happens to be 2°C above the normal. Having said this, the sky over Delhi & NCR has been clearing up since the past couple of days. At present, shallow fog has been recorded at most areas of Delhi. So it would be fine to say that the foggy weather that persisted over Delhi and NCR has lost its grip. But even with no foggy weather, at least 61 trains are running late with 7 trains rescheduled and 13 trains canceled. This is because of the persistence of fog over Indo-Gangetic plains. The train status can be checked here.
Along with trains, air traffic is also seeing delays in arrival and departure. 3 international flights and 6 domestic flights from/to Delhi have been delayed. 3 of the domestic flights have been canceled due to the low visibility thanks to the moderate fog at the airport. Check flight status here.
17 trains running late, 6 cancelled as dense fog blankets Lucknow city in Uttar Pradesh resulting in low visibility.

Gradual decrease in fog continues over Delhi-NCR
Dec 13, 2016 06:40 AM
Delhi & NCR region is famous for its chilly winters. The dense foggy weather just adds to the cold wintery weather. Ever since the start of the winters, the foggy weather persisted over the National Capital along with the temperatures plummeting down. Just a few days back the city recorded its lowest minimum of the season with 7.7°C. Having said this, the sky over Delhi NCR has been clearing up since past 2 days. With this we can expect the temperature to plummet further. At present, the visibility over Delhi’s Palam observatory has been recorded at 600 metres. So we can say that the foggy weather that persisted over Delhi and NCR has finally lost its grip. But even with no foggy weather, at least 128 trains have been delayed that started their journey yesterday. This is because of the persistence of fog over Indo-Gangetic plains. The train status can be checked here. Along with trains, air traffic is also seeing delays in arrival and departure. Delay in arrival of flights from Chennai and Hyderabad is expected due to the wrath of Cyclone Vardah. Delay in flights arriving from Varanasi, Patna and Chandigarh is expected due to fog’s persistence over the city. Check flight status here. As per Skymet Weather, winds pattern have changed and dry northwesterly winds from east direction is blowing which has led to a gradual decrease in moisture in air. Hence the fog levels over Delhi and adjoining areas have reduced significantly. As of today morning, Noida Sector 62, Sector 18, Noida city centre, Indirapuram Ghaziabad, and old Faridabad, Mayur Vihar witnessed almost mild fog where open spaces saw dense fog while densely packed areas/localities witnessed less fog weather.

Gradual decrease in fog expected over Delhi and NCR
12 December 2016 07:40 am
The onset of winters over the northern plains particularly over Delhi and adjoining areas have brought dense fog with them. The national capital along with the nearby states have been engulfed under moderate to dense fog ever since the month began. People residing in the northern part of the country have been waking up to thick fog layer almost each day. With this, both maximum and minimum temperatures have been dropping speedily. It was just two days back when the capital of India witnessed the lowest minimums of the season. Dense fog over the capital of India has also led to low visibility. DelhiPalam airport recorded visibility of 200 m. Moreover, most of the rail and air traffic is also disrupted. This has also created chaos particularly amongst the travelers. Most of the flights and trains have either been canceled or delayed. Close to seven flights from the Indira Gandhi Airport, Delhi has reported late departure while two flights have canceled the departure. Flight status can be checked here. Moreover, the arrival of three flights have been delayed by the same and three flights have reported having been canceled. The National Railways have also announced delays and cancellation of 130 trains running on their respective routes since yesterday. The train status can be checked here. As per Skymet Weather, now, the winds are changing their pattern again and will be turning back to northwesterly from easterly, hence, a gradual decrease in the fog level is expected in Delhi and adjoining areas. This can be made out from the fact that despite the northern plains under the influence of dense fog since the beginning of the month, early morning today, thick fog was not witnessed at Noida Sector 62, Sector 18, city center, Indirapuram Ghaziabad, and old Faridabad.
Foggy mornings persist in Delhi-NCR, zero visibility at Palam
Dec 11, 2016 7:10
Delhi and NCR region continue to witness foggy mornings. Today, zero visibility has been reported at the Palam Airport, hence dense fog continues to persist over the national capital. Other parts of Delhi such as Dilshad Garden, Peera Garhi, Chandni Chowk, Faridabad and Janakpuri also witnessed moderate to dense fog. While some parts of Noida like Noida City Center reported shallow fog; Sector 62 and Indirapuram witnessed dense fog. These weather conditions can be attributed to light and warm easterly winds that are blowing over the area. As per Skymet Weather, North India will continue to witness dense fog, all thanks to a fresh Western Disturbance and its induced cyclonic circulation over Rajasthan. Due to the cyclonic storm Vardah, fog will persist over East India. As far as flights are concerned at least 10 flights were delayed, that included 8 departures and 2 arrivals, while 8 flights were cancelled. Around 137 trains have been delayed since yesterday.
Similar weather conditions are expected during the next 24-48 hours as well. Thus, moderate to dense fog will persist over many parts of Delhi and the NCR region.
Delhi NCR witnesses dense fog in pockets
Dec 10, 2016 7:20 AM
As reiterated by Skymet Weather, intensity of fog has reduced considerably over most parts of Delhi-NCR. However, few pockets continued to reel under the dense fog. Places like Palam and Safdarjung ported dense fog with visibility dropping to 200 meters and 150 meters, respectively. Similar conditions were also reported from Noida and Indirapuram areas as well. In wake of this, 17 flights were delayed that included 13 departures and four arrivals, while one flight was cancelled. Around 109 trains are running behind the scheduled time. Rest of the places such as Dhaula Kuan, R K Puram, Vasant Kunj, Green Park, AIIMS, South Extension, East of Kailash, and Anand Vihar observed shallow fog only with better visibility conditions. According to Skymet Weather, relief from fog can be attributed to change in the wind pattern to southeasterlies over the region. All thanks to the fresh Western Disturbance affecting northern hills of Jammu and Kashmir and its induced cyclonic circulation over Central Pakistan and adjoining Rajasthan. Further, we expect similar weather conditions to prevail over the national capital during the next two days. Thereafter, with the systems moving away, fog will make a comeback over the city again.

Dec 09, 2016 07:00 AM

While the visibility at the national capital has been close to 150 metres for quite some time, there has been some improvement today at the Palam Airport.
