Delhi-NCR residents wake up to dense fog, cool breeze in March
India
Delhi-NCR residents got an unexpected start to Tuesday morning (March 10, 2026) with dense fog, even though the city's been sweating through one of the hottest early March periods in nearly 50 years (maximum temperatures above 35°C).
According to the India Meteorological Department, this combination occurred because a Western Disturbance over the Himalayas and moist winds from the Bay of Bengal mixed things up.
Fog can disrupt travel, cause power outages
Fog in March isn't just weird: it can reduce visibility and has even been linked to power outages (like what happened in 2008 and other years); reduced visibility may also disrupt road or air travel.
So if you're heading out or making plans, keep an eye on updates: Delhi weather is definitely keeping everyone guessing this year.
