Due to record-breaking rain and heavy snowfall, entire north India, including Delhi, has been blanketed with a blanket of cold. People in Delhi-NCR and parts of Uttar Pradesh spend the entire day sitting in front of their bonfires due to the cold weather.
On the other hand, a sheet of fog has begun to cover Delhi. The situation has deteriorated to the point where visibility has been reduced to zero during the day.
Aside from that, snowfall has made life difficult in some hilly areas of Kashmir, Shimla, and Uttarakhand.
Rain Breaks 121-Year-Old Record

Previously, in 1989, January received 73.7 mm of rain. According to the Meteorological Department’s forecast, there is a chance of light rain in Delhi-NCR today due to light to moderate rain in the Himalayan region.
