by Zee Media Bureau · Zee NewsMumbai Weather: The cold spell in Mumbai has eased over the past few days, bringing some relief to residents. While nights and early mornings continue to feel chilly, daytime temperatures have become more comfortable. Weather officials said cold waves coming from northern India have weakened, resulting in a slight reduction in cold conditions across Maharashtra.
In several cities, temperatures that had earlier fallen below 10 degrees Celsius have now started rising. However, parts of Marathwada and Vidarbha are still experiencing cold wave conditions.
In Delhi, dense fog and poor visibility caused major disruption at the airport on Thursday. A total of 27 flights were cancelled by various airlines. Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) officials said low visibility was the main reason for the cancellations.
Dense fog covered Delhi and nearby areas on Thursday morning, sharply reducing visibility and affecting traffic across the National Capital Region. Vehicles moved slowly on highways connecting Delhi with Gurugram, Ghaziabad, and Noida, leading to delays for office-goers and other commuters. Visibility dropped to 150 metres at Palam airport and 200 metres at Safdarjung.
Air Quality Remains Severe
Delhi’s air quality continued to be a major concern. The average Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded at 373, placing it in the ‘severe’ category. Anand Vihar reported the worst air quality, with an AQI of 441. According to the India Meteorological Department, dense fog covered the city at 6 am on Thursday.
With cold conditions continuing, the IMD has forecast dense fog during morning hours in the coming days. In New Delhi, the minimum temperature remained at nine degrees Celsius, slightly above normal, while the maximum temperature is expected to be around 23 degrees Celsius.
