Fog takes over Punjab and Haryana, but temps stay weirdly warm

India

Punjab and Haryana woke up to thick fog this week, making it tough to see much outside.
Even though it rained recently, the minimum temperatures are still higher than usual for January.
The IMD says a cold wave is coming soon, with the chilliest days expected between January 3 and 5.

Why does this matter?

The fog isn't just a vibe—it's causing real problems like delayed flights (Delhi NCR saw visibility drop significantly).
The IMD has put out orange alerts for Punjab, Haryana, and Chandigarh for Friday and Saturday because of super low visibility.
Plus, while Narnaul dipped to 4.5°C, most cities are running warmer than normal—so you might not need your thickest jacket just yet.
But heads up: temps could drop by another 2-3°C below normal as the cold wave hits.
