“The temperature is low and it’s quite humid. These conditions lead to the formation of fog. We expect dense fog cover on Monday and Tuesday,” said RK Jenamani, director in-charge of the MeT office at the IGI Airport.

Fog forecasts made in late November and early December, however, were not accurate. “There was a lot of windy activity in the city then. But this time around, the wind factor is missing, so we are expecting dense fog. If the wind pattern changes in a few hours, the fog may disappear,” Jenamani said On Sunday, the maximum temperature was recorded at 23 degrees Celsius, one degree above normal, while the minimum was recorded as 5 degrees Celsius, three degrees below normal. The Capital will witness a foggy morning on Monday, but the sky will be clear during the day. The maximum and minimum temperatures are likely to hover around 23 and 7 degrees Celsius, respectively.

On Saturday, the maximum and minimum temperatures were 21.8 and 5 degrees Celsius, respectively. In the past few days, the mercury has shown a downward trend, with a decline in both the maximum and minimum temperatures.
