Delhi cold wave: IMD issues yellow alert, temperatures to drop further
Delhi is in for a chilly weekend—IMD just issued a yellow alert, with temperatures set to dip as low as 5°C and highs only reaching 22°C.
Expect cold northwesterly winds and thick morning fog across the city and NCR, making things feel even colder than usual for early December.
Why does this matter?
The cold wave means more than just sweater weather. The dense fog could mess with your morning commute—think delayed flights, trains, and tough driving conditions.
Plus, the combo of low temps and "very poor" air quality ups health risks like flu and breathing issues, especially for kids, older folks, or anyone with existing health problems.
IMD suggests skipping early morning outings if you can. Health officials recommend wearing an N95 mask if you have to go out.
