Drinkers, tighten your quilts, cold and fog have started their real game, the next few days will be heavy.

News India Live, Digital Desk: After the New Year celebrations, the weather has now started showing its attitude. If you are in Uttar Pradesh or any part of North India, then when you woke up this morning (January 3), you must have shuddered after seeing the view outside the window.

The warning given by the Meteorological Department (IMD) is proving to be absolutely accurate. The entire UP is currently in the grip of ‘fog blanket’ and ‘cold wave’.

It became night during the day!

The situation is such that in many cities it has become difficult to see the sun even till 10-11 in the morning. The fog in Western UP and Terai areas is so dense that it is difficult to see even 50 meters away. We can call this a situation like ‘zero visibility’. If you are driving on the highway, it is wise to switch on fog lights and keep your speed slow.

What does the weather department say?

According to the latest update from IMD, there is little hope of relief right now. ‘Cold Day’ like conditions will persist for the next 2-3 days. This means that there will be no sunlight during the day and icy winds will pierce straight into the bones.
A huge drop in temperature is also being recorded. The temperature is falling at night, but due to the drop in day temperature, the feeling of melting is increasing.

These districts are most affected

Although the entire state is shivering, but Western UP (Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, Noida, Ghaziabad) and some parts of Eastern UP (Varanasi, Gorakhpur, Prayagraj) are currently running in ‘Red’ and ‘Orange’ alert zones. The icy winds coming from the mountains have made the plains freezer.

‘Brakes’ on trains and flights

Due to fog, the speed of trains has been slowed down. Many express trains are running hours behind schedule. If you are planning to travel somewhere, then definitely check the status of your train or flight before leaving home, otherwise you may have to shiver in the cold at the station.

take care of yourself

Friends, this is the season when even a little carelessness can make you sick.

• Protect children and elderly: Stop them from leaving the house early in the morning.
• Layering of clothes: It is better to wear 2-3 thin sweaters than one thick jacket, this keeps the heat inside.
• Attention to eating and drinking: Increase the intake of hot water, soup and jaggery-peanuts.

The cold will continue to haunt you further, so take the help of bonfire and stay safe. Now only Ram knows when the Sun God will be seen.
