Chandigarh Gripped by Intense Cold and Dense Fog
Residents of Chandigarh faced a bitterly cold morning today as the mercury plunged to a low of 3 degrees Celsius. A thick blanket of dense fog enveloped the city, creating challenging conditions for commuters and early risers.
Visibility Drops Sharply Across the Region
The dense fog significantly reduced visibility on roads and highways. Many people reported difficulties while driving or walking. Traffic moved at a snail's pace in several areas, with drivers using fog lights and extra caution.
Local authorities advised citizens to avoid unnecessary travel during the early hours. Public transport services experienced minor delays due to the poor weather conditions.
Residents Bundle Up Against the Chill
People stepped out wearing heavy woolens, scarves, and caps to protect themselves from the biting cold. Morning walkers and joggers either postponed their routines or braved the foggy conditions with extra layers.
"It feels like winter has arrived with full force," said a resident waiting at a bus stop. "The fog makes everything look hazy and mysterious, but it's quite inconvenient for daily activities."
Weather Outlook for the Coming Days
Meteorological experts attribute this sudden dip in temperature to specific atmospheric conditions. They predict similar weather patterns might continue for the next few days.
Residents are urged to stay warm and monitor official weather updates. The fog is expected to lift gradually as the sun gains strength later in the day.
This cold spell serves as a reminder for everyone to take necessary precautions against health issues like colds and respiratory problems during such weather changes.
