What Will The Weather Be Like On Republic Day?
According to the IMD, the Western Disturbance has moved away from the mountainous regions. Cold north-westerly winds are blowing in the plains and Delhi. However, the biting cold has abated to some extent. Lower plains will see moderate winds, reducing the chances of fog.
There may be only light fog in the morning and haze in some places.
If you have secured your pass to watch the Republic Day Parade along Kartavya Path in Delhi, get to the venue early to avoid any last-minute inconvenience and go packed in woollens. Although the cold has abated, the chilly winds may well cause troubles.
