At 3.9 degrees Celsius, Delhi recorded the coldest morning today of this season. Due to dense fog, road, rail and air traffic were also affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around 23 Delhi-bound trains were delayed due to the coldest morning today in Delhi, as per the railways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the Indira Gandhi International Airport reported zero visibility due to very dense fog conditions. However, the adverse conditions did not significantly impact flight operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Delhi airport authorities issued an advisory urging passengers to check with their airline for flight information before heading to the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flight operations remain normal at Delhi Airport despite Low Visibility Procedures. Passengers are advised to check with their respective airlines for any updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The category III (CAT III) is an instrument landing system (ILS) that allows airplanes to safely land during poor visibility conditions caused by dense fog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While landings and takeoffs are still operational at Delhi Airport, flights that are not CAT III compliant may be impacted. Passengers are advised to contact the respective airline for updated flight information. We deeply regret any inconvenience caused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Delhi-NCR experienced some relief on Thursday as the sun managed to shine through the thin layer of fog. However, the chilly winds persisted and kept the temperatures down.
