In eastern Uttar Pradesh, including Bareilly, Gorakhpur, Ayodhya, Pratapgarh, Deoria, and Varanasi, a thick fog is expected, reducing visibility. This could potentially affect road and air travel.

The department also mentioned that a western disturbance is likely to affect the northern plains, causing snow in the mountains, which will contribute to a further drop in temperature in the coming weeks.

Health and Pollution Alert: With the cold and fog, pollution levels are expected to rise, which could have an adverse effect on health. It is advised to take necessary precautions, such as wearing warm clothing, using air purifiers, and staying indoors as much as possible, especially for those with respiratory conditions.

As the New Year celebrations approach, residents are urged to stay alert and prepared for the cold wave and changing weather conditions.
