As the year draws to a close, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a cautionary statement forecasting the occurrence of very dense fog in Punjab. The warning specifies that low visibility, ranging from 50 to 200 meters, is expected at isolated places during the early morning hours and at some locations during the night on December 30th and 31st, 2023.

Understanding Very Dense Fog:

Very dense fog poses a considerable challenge to visibility, significantly impacting transportation, daily activities, and overall safety. The reduced visibility can lead to hazardous road conditions, disruptions in air and rail travel, and an increased risk of accidents.

IMD’s Advanced Warning System:

The IMD employs advanced technologies, including satellite imagery and weather monitoring systems, to provide timely and accurate forecasts. In this case, the warning about very dense fog aims to prepare residents and authorities in Punjab for the potential challenges posed by the weather conditions.

Impact on Travel:

Travelers in Punjab are advised to exercise caution and plan their journeys accordingly, considering the anticipated low visibility. Motorists should drive at reduced speeds, maintain safe distances, and use fog lights when necessary. Air and rail passengers may experience delays and disruptions, necessitating close monitoring of travel schedules.
