Northern India is currently going through a very cold season with temperatures dropped below -5°C (23°F). The cold weather has covered many places like the capital during both morning and night times with a heavy fog. 

The fog has resulted in a difficult view causing problems with both airplane and train services, making it hard for people to get around.
