IMD's Delhi NCR Forecast Misses Mark; Biting Cold Persists Amidst Yellow Alert
- •IMD's 'cold day' and dense fog yellow alert for Wednesday in Delhi NCR proved inaccurate, with significant sunshine observed.
- •Despite the daytime sun, nights remained cold with minimum temperatures around 5-6°C, and dense fog appeared after evening.
- •A new yellow alert for dense fog is issued for Thursday, January 8, but its accuracy is uncertain after Wednesday's miss.
- •Strong winds at 15 km/h are causing biting cold, intensifying shivers, especially at night in Delhi NCR.
- •Major cities like Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurgaon, Greater Noida, and Faridabad recorded high AQI levels alongside cold temperatures.
Why It Matters: IMD's recent Delhi NCR weather forecasts have been inconsistent, with biting cold persisting despite missed alerts.
