Light Rain, Strong Winds and Fog Forecast for Delhi During Chhath Festival

The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a short-term outlook for Delhi coinciding with the Chhath Mahaparv. Forecasts indicate a shift in weather conditions, with scattered light rain expected during the morning hours.

Alongside the precipitation, wind speeds are likely to increase, with gusts reaching moderate to strong levels, especially in open areas and near the Yamuna riverfront.

Additionally, the combination of moisture and cooling after sunset may lead to patches of fog across the city, potentially affecting visibility on major roadways. Residents are advised to stay updated with local weather alerts and exercise caution while commuting.

The department emphasized that the weather changes are temporary and should not disrupt the religious observances of the Chhath festival, but recommended that organizers and participants plan for possible delays due to the expected conditions.
