A thick fog settled over Pernem in Goa on Tuesday, a day after an unexpected rain shower hit the area on Monday.
A dense fog enveloped the town of Pernem in North Goa on Tuesday, reducing visibility across the region. The weather phenomenon arrived just a day after the area experienced an unseasonal rainfall on Monday, which was unusual for this time of year.
Monday's rain was brief but intense, catching residents off guard and leaving the ground damp as the fog rolled in. Meteorologists noted that the combination of lingering moisture and calm winds created ideal conditions for fog formation.
Local authorities issued advisories for commuters, warning of reduced visibility on highways and urging drivers to exercise caution. Public transport services reported minor delays, and schools in the vicinity remained open with precautionary measures.
While fog is not uncommon in coastal Goa during winter months, its sudden onset following unexpected rain has prompted discussions about shifting weather patterns in the region.
