The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a fresh update regarding the weather conditions in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR). Residents should prepare for continued cold days as dense fog is expected to cover the city during the morning hours. The weather department has also predicted light rain around January 27, which might bring the temperatures down further.
What is the fog forecast for Delhi-NCR?
According to the latest bulletin, dense fog is likely to prevail during the morning hours from January 24 to January 26. This alert applies not just to Delhi but also to neighboring states like Punjab, Haryana, and Chandigarh. Commuters are advised to drive carefully during early morning hours due to low visibility on the roads.
When is rain expected in the capital?
While the days will remain cold and cloudy, specific rain predictions have been made for the upcoming days. Light rain or thunderstorms are possible during the night of January 23-24. A more significant spell of light rain is forecasted for the forenoon and afternoon of January 27, 2026. This wet spell is expected to keep the daytime temperatures in check.
What are the expected temperatures?
The maximum and minimum temperatures are expected to fluctuate throughout the week. Below is the forecast for the coming days:
| Date | Max Temp (°C) | Min Temp (°C) | Condition |
