Besides pictures and videos, people also shared various comments reacting to the cold. Just like this Twitter user who wrote, “Pitch ‘White’ Fog in NCR. Wonder how do I drive to office today?” Another person joked, “#delhifog. Delhi mein kya chal raha hai. Bhai Delhi mein to fogg chal raha hai,” referencing the tagline of a deodorant brand. A third Twitter user added, “Low visibility please #divesafe during #delhifog.”
The “very dense” fog reduced visibility in the city. Not just that, it also had an impact on the air quality which worsened to the “severe” category in the capital city. On Sunday, the minimum temperature dropped to 1.9 °C, lowest this season.
