Dense Fog Envelops 15 Cities Across Uttar Pradesh

A dense fog sheet has spread across fifteen districts of Uttar Pradesh, causing visibility to drop to a few metres in many areas. Local authorities have issued advisories for commuters, urging drivers to reduce speed and avoid unnecessary travel during the early morning hours. The meteorological department attributes the fog to a sharp fall in night-time temperatures combined with high humidity levels. Schools in the most affected districts have been advised to monitor the situation before commencing classes. Health officials have warned that the reduced air quality may aggravate respiratory conditions, especially among the elderly and children.

The fog is expected to linger through the night, with forecasts indicating gradual clearing by late afternoon as temperatures rise. Residents have been asked to stay indoors where possible and keep windows closed to limit exposure to the damp air. Emergency services remain on standby to respond to any accidents caused by low visibility.

While the fog is the primary concern, the state’s disaster management team is coordinating with neighboring regions to ensure that any sudden changes in weather are communicated promptly to the public.
