Safdarjung, Delhi's major meteorological station, reported a visibility of 1.8 kilometres at 7:00 a.m. today, which is much greater than the 200-meter visibility witnessed yesterday. Last night, the capital city saw mild rainfall, which improved air quality, fog conditions, and therefore visibility.
According to the weather prediction, Delhi will see a typically overcast sky with light rain throughout the day due to a fresh western disturbance.
The Met Department forecast light rain and thunderstorms with strong winds for tomorrow. After that, Delhi is anticipated to see moderate to intense fog conditions with a clear sky and no alerts until February 9.
