As of Monday, February 9, 2026, residents of Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) woke up to a thin layer of shallow fog, signaling a gradual transition as the peak winter chill begins to fade.

Delhi Weather: Sunshine and Mist

Despite the movement of clouds over the city, the IMD has confirmed that there is currently no chance of rain in Delhi. The day is characterized by a “warm” afternoon thanks to bright sunlight, though the mornings and evenings remain mildly cold.

Cold winds from the Himalayan peaks continue to sweep through the region, but their intensity is expected to decrease as the day progresses.

The “Western Disturbance” Impact on North India

The calm in Delhi stands in contrast to the active weather patterns affecting the rest of North India. A fresh Western Disturbance is moving across the Western Himalayan region, bringing a mix of precipitation and visibility challenges.

• Rain & Snow: Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand are expected to witness a spell of snowfall and light showers through Tuesday.

• The “Orange Alert”: An Orange Alert has been issued for Uttar Pradesh, where rainfall is highly likely today.

Regional Alerts: Rain, Snow, and Dense Fog

Commuters across the northern plains should exercise caution. While Delhi has moved past “dense fog” conditions, other states remain under heavy forecast:

• Dense Fog: Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan are expected to see visibility drop significantly during early morning and late night hours.

• Chill Factor: Parts of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh will continue to experience a “little chill” due to moisture and sustained surface winds.

South India Spotlight: Bengaluru’s Cool Winds

In contrast to the northern fog, Bengaluru is experiencing a shift toward summer-like conditions during the day, balanced by cool breezes.

• Daytime: Highs of 29°C with bright sunshine.

• Nighttime: Lows of 16°C to 17°C.

  The IMD suggests that while the heat will increase over the next three days, the early morning “malkoreyuva chali” (biting cold) has largely dissipated, replaced by a mild, pleasant wind.

Next Steps

If you are planning a trip to the hills (Manali, Shimla, or Leh), be prepared for travel delays due to snowfall until Wednesday, February 11. For those in Delhi, today is an ideal day for outdoor events, provided you carry a light jacket for the post-sunset dip in temperature. You should also keep an eye on the AQI levels, which remain in the “Poor” category (above 200) despite the clearer skies.
