Delhi Schools Closed Until January 15 Amid Cold Wave and Poor Air Quality

The Directorate of Education (DoE), Delhi, has announced that all schools in the capital will remain closed untilJanuary 15, 2026, extending the winter break due to severe cold, dense fog, and hazardous weather conditions. Originally scheduled for early January, the winter vacation has been extended to protect students from harsh weather and associated risks.

Chilly Temperatures, Fog, and Poor Air QualityDelhi has been experiencing bitter cold, with morning temperatures ranging from6°C to 8°Cand daytime highs struggling to rise above the teens. Persistent dense fog has disrupted visibility, road travel, and air traffic, while north-westerly winds add to the chill. TheIndia Meteorological Department (IMD)has issued cold wave and fog alerts for isolated areas, warning residents about challenging conditions in the coming days.

Air quality remains poor due to winter inversions trapping pollutants near the ground, prompting health advisories for vulnerable groups. Parents are advised to monitor weather updates, limit early morning travel, and take precautions against cold-related illnesses.
