    India: The capital of India is shrouded in a dense fog, with visibility in certain places being as little as 50 metres.

    At least thirty flights that were scheduled to arrive at or depart from Delhi Airport have experienced delays, and traffic on the roads is covered in mist, as per the report.

    Aircraft without CAT III, a navigation system that enables safe landings in low visibility, are those most at risk of lengthy flights.

    Passengers were also advised by airlines such as SpiceJet in India that there might be an impact on departures and arrivals from New Delhi.

    “While landings and take-offs continue at Delhi Airport, flights that are not CAT III compliant may get affected,” shared an airport spokesperson on X.

    Passengers were advised by the budget airline to monitor flight updates on its website.  The “very dense fog,” which occurs at temperatures of about 9 °C, could linger until Wednesday in some areas of the city, according to India’s weather department.

    According to the report, the 20 million people who live in the city could be at risk for health problems as a result of particulate matter and other pollutants found in the “dense fog.”

    The Central Pollution Control Board classified New Delhi’s air quality as “very poor,” with an index of 376. Levels in the range of 0 to 50 are regarded as “good.”

    The weather department stated that, similar weather was reported in other parts of north India, such as the states of Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, with most locations experiencing temperatures between 6 and 10 degrees Celsius.
