As the cold wave continues to tighten its grip over North India, the dense fog situation in Delhi has seen no improvement. At least 26 trains arrived late in the national capital due to fog on January 4, according to Indian Railways.

The IMD forecast also reported that dense fog blanketed parts of Uttar Pradesh, Chandigarh, Rajasthan, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Tripura amid the ongoing cold wave conditions in North India. Moreover, Delhi airport delayed several flight operations due to low visibility caused by fog. In a post on X, IMD wrote, "*Fog conditions observed* (at 0530 hours IST of today, 04.01.2024): *Very Dense fog* over Uttar Pradesh, Chandigarh, Rajasthan, Bihar; *Dense Fog* over Madhya Pradesh and Tripura and *Moderate Fog* over Jammu Division."

Meanwhile, the minimum temperature has been between ten and twelve degrees Celsius in east Uttar Pradesh, North Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Sikkim. The IMD forecast said, "No significant change in minimum temperatures likely over rest parts of north India during next five days." IMD issued a cold day warning on January 4 in some parts of Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi and Rajasthan. The weather department has also warned about cold day conditions in isolated pockets on January 5. Meanwhile, IMD has issued a health advisory to the public warning against lung-related health impacts due to dense fog and cold wave conditions. "Dense fog contains particulate matter and other pollutants, and in case exposed, it gets lodged in the lungs, clogging them and decreasing their functional capacity, which increases episodes of wheezing, coughing and shortness of breath," the IMD said. IMD warned that exposure to air pollutants can cause eye irritation and infections that may lead to redness or swelling. Furthermore, under the rainfall forecast, IMD wrote, "Light isolated rainfall very likely over East Madhya Pradesh on January 4-5; over Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand during January 3-5; over West Madhya Pradesh on January 4."
