North India is covered in fog. IMD provides a summary of the visibility conditions for today

NEW DELHI: On Monday morning, visibility was affected by a layer of fog that had dropped over numerous regions of north India. Recent satellite data shows that fog is present across several areas, including North Rajasthan, Bihar, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and the far northwest of Madhya Pradesh.

Different levels of fog intensity are plaguing the impacted regions; some localities are dealing with very thick fog.
Significantly decreased visibility is being reported in major cities, raising worries about possible delays and safety issues with transportation.

Delhi has a low temperature of 6.8°C.
According to the IMD, the national capital’s lowest temperature on Monday was 6.8 degrees Celsius, two degrees below the seasonal normal.
According to the IMD’s estimate, the day’s highest temperature will probably be about 21 degrees, and the lowest will probably be around 7 degrees. The weatherman says there will be “shallow fog and partly cloudy sky.”
A little snowfall in Kashmir’s upper regions
Although there has been some light snowfall in Jammu & Kashmir’s upper regions over the last 24 hours, the “Nav Sheen” of this season is still missing from the lowlands of the valley.
On the first snowfall of the winter, Kashmiris often exchange greetings and even send presents of wintertime delicacies to friends and family.
gloomy mornings when visiting Lucknow
Residents in Lucknow may look forward to some respite from the cold, as Monday’s lowest temperatures are predicted to increase by two to three degrees Celsius. But there won’t be a break from the misty weather come daybreak.
The state meteorological agency said that Lucknow would get partly sunny days after foggy mornings. It is expected that the fog will progressively clear beginning on Wednesday.
Himachal: Expected to be rain and snow starting tomorrow
The Shimla center of the IMD has predicted precipitation, including rain and snowfall, throughout the state over a four-day period beginning on January 30, despite the fact that Himachal Pradesh is currently experiencing a prolonged dry spell.
This shift is attributed by the meteorological service to the impact of two impending western disturbances. These precipitation episodes, which are predicted to occur between January 30 and February 2, are thought to be isolated but might result in one or two heavy periods in districts like Lahaul Spiti, Kinnaur, Chamba, Kullu, Shimla, and Sirmaur.
After a little respite, Chandigarh is once again under the frigid grasp.
After a brief break, the Tricity is once again under the influence of frigid weather. Authorities report that the area was affected by a western disturbance on Sunday. Two further disturbances are predicted for January 30 and February 3. Cloudy weather are anticipated due to the impending disturbance on January 30, and on February 2 there may be a chance of a thunderstorm or rain event.
