"Record Cold" Wreaks Havoc In New Delhi

Northern India has been grappling with dense fog and record-low temperatures for days now, reports Indian media.

Hundreds of flights have been cancelled in and out of the capital, with the New Delhi railway station also facing delays due to the invasive 'cold wave', which for the fifth consecutive day has gripped Delhi: 3.5C, 3.6C, 3.9C, 3.3C and 3.5C (approx. 38F to 39F).

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an orange 'cold wave' alert extending through January 17, at least.

As per a recent IMD report, 'cold wave days' have been prevailing over many parts of north India since late-December. This, as discovered by a recent IITM study, has been an increasing phenomenon in recent decades, “despite global warming”. The study took into account the number of cold wave events over the past seven decades, from 1951-2022, and found that more cold wave days are occurring in recent decades than in previous ones.
