Residents of Dausa district in Rajasthan woke up to an unusually thick fog blanket on Thursday morning, transforming the landscape into a hazy spectacle following overnight rainfall. The meteorological conditions created a dramatic drop in visibility, bringing daily activities to a near standstill.
Visibility Crisis Grips Dausa
The fog conditions became particularly severe during the early morning hours, with visibility plummeting below 100 metres in many areas. This significant reduction created challenging conditions for commuters and residents alike, forcing many to alter their morning routines.
Weather Pattern Behind the Phenomenon
Meteorological experts attribute this intense fog formation to the combination of overnight rainfall and specific atmospheric conditions. The moisture from the rain, combined with cool temperatures and calm winds, created perfect conditions for dense fog development across the region.
