The weather agency warned that another spell of dense fog and cold wave conditions is likely to hit northwest India while Delhi is likely to get colder over the weekend and early next week.

On January 14, the IMD forecast dense to very dense fog in some parts of Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, and Delhi; in isolated pockets over Uttar Pradesh.

It also predicted that Dense fog in isolated pockets over Jammu division, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Odisha is also expected with cold day conditions very likely in isolated pockets over Bihar.

“Cold wave to severe cold wave conditions are very likely in some parts of north Rajasthan and cold wave conditions in isolated pockets over Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh,” the IMD said.
