The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued warnings for cold wave conditions, dense fog, and snowfall across several regions of India. These alerts cover northern, northeastern, and western Himalayan areas, as well as advisories for fishermen in the Bay of Bengal.
Cold Wave and Fog Warnings
Cold wave conditions are expected in isolated locations across Telangana and Interior Karnataka on December 14 and 15. Chhattisgarh and Odisha are also likely to experience similar conditions on December 14. Severe cold wave conditions are forecast for North Interior Karnataka on December 14.
Dense Fog Expected in Northern India
Isolated pockets of eastern Uttar Pradesh are likely to see dense fog during the mornings from December 14 to 16, with very dense fog expected on December 14 and 15. Dense fog is also very likely in isolated areas of Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura from December 14 to 18.
Similar fog conditions are expected in Assam and Meghalaya, as well as western Uttar Pradesh, from December 14 to 16, and in Himachal Pradesh on December 14. Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, and Delhi may also experience dense fog on December 15 and 16.
Snowfall Forecast
Light rain or snowfall is expected at isolated locations across the Western Himalayan region—including Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Muzaffarabad—from December 14 to 18. Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand may experience similar conditions on December 14, while Arunachal Pradesh is likely to see snowfall between December 15 and 17.
Weather in Delhi
The sky over Delhi is expected to be partly cloudy, with moderate fog in the morning. The maximum temperature is likely to range from 23°C to 25°C, while the minimum temperature is expected to range from 9°C to 11°C.
Air Quality Measures in Delhi-NCR
The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) has invoked the strictest measures under its air pollution control plan, GRAP, including a ban on all construction and demolition activities in Delhi-NCR. This action was taken after pollution levels rose sharply amid unfavorable meteorological conditions. Stage III of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) was initially invoked across the entire NCR before being escalated due to worsening air quality.
Thunderstorms and Fisherman Warning
Thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and gusty winds reaching speeds of 30–40 kmph are very likely at isolated places over the Andaman and Nicobar Islands from December 13 to 15. Fishermen have been advised to avoid venturing into the Gulf of Mannar and the adjoining Comorin region in the Bay of Bengal from December 13 to 16.
