Most parts of the Kashmir valley, including Srinagar, were gripped by haze, and the fog forced commuters to move their vehicles while keeping on the headlights amid dim visibility. The fog is likely to continue till November 27 over many places in Kashmir.

The MeT office predicted the weather will remain generally dry but cloudy with the possibility of light rain or snow at isolated higher reaches on November 23.

"Overall, there is no significant weather activity till the end of November," the MeT office said.
