"Due to a passing western disturbance, there has been some moisture incursion. Conditions are already very cool and the winds are calm. These are perfect conditions for dense fog to develop. Moreover, there are no strong winds or no such weather system likely immediately that can clear this layer of fog. Unless there is a very active western disturbance this layer will remain.
Another western disturbance is expected around January 16 and 17 which may help to an extent," said DS Pai, senior scientist, IMD.
IMD defines "shallow" fog in a region when visibility drops to 500-1,000m, "moderate" fog when visibility is 200-500m, "dense" fog when visibility is 50-200m, and "very dense" when visibility dips to 50m or lower.
