A severe cold wave accompanied by dense fog and a sharp drop in temperatures has gripped Delhi, prompting the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to issue an orange alert for the national capital. Residents woke up to a chilling minimum temperature of 3.2°C on Tuesday, January 13, while air quality deteriorated to the ‘very poor’ category. Health experts warned that the harsh weather could particularly impact children and the elderly.

The extreme conditions have disrupted daily life across Delhi-NCR. Authorities extended winter vacations and ordered school closures in several areas as a precautionary measure, affecting academic schedules. Dense fog also impacted air travel, with multiple flights at Delhi Airport delayed due to low visibility on runways. Airport officials issued advisories cautioning passengers about possible disruptions.
