After rain spells over the weekend, cloud cover will give way to dense fog from Tuesday in Chandigarh, said the weatherman on Monday. It will be accompanied by a drop in mercury.
Dense fog, especially in the morning, can be expected for at least the next couple of days, said an India Meteorological Department (IMD) official.
“Earlier the rains and winds had kept fog from forming in the city. But dense fog, which can reduce visibility to 200 metres is expected in the coming days. A drop in temperature, by up to five notches, is also likely due to clear skies at night,” said the official.
Meanwhile, maximum temperature went up from Sunday’s 13.2°C to 16.8°C on Monday. Minimum temperature went down from 11.1°C to 10.4°C. In the next three days, maximum temperature will remain around 20°C and the minimum around 7-9°C.
