*Jammu, December 30:* Jammu experienced the season’s first dense fog on Monday, significantly affecting normal life and causing disruptions across the city. The thick layer of fog reduced visibility to a mere few meters, making travel challenging and impacting daily routines.
Transportation was among the most affected sectors, with several flights and trains delayed or rescheduled. Commuters faced difficulties navigating roads, leading to traffic slowdowns and an increased risk of accidents. Authorities have advised people to exercise caution while driving and to use fog lights where available.
The fog has also caused a drop in temperatures, intensifying the cold wave already gripping the region. Residents, especially those venturing out early in the morning or late at night, have reported discomfort due to the biting cold and reduced visibility.
Local meteorological officials have attributed the fog to high humidity levels combined with low overnight temperatures. They predict that similar weather conditions may persist over the next few days. People are advised to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety and well-being.
This seasonal phenomenon marks the beginning of Jammu’s winter fog, a common occurrence that often disrupts life in the region.
