Several districts, including Patna, Gaya, Muzaffarpur, Bhagalpur, and Purnea, reported thick fog on Monday morning. In many areas, visibility dropped sharply, causing delays in train services and difficulties for daily commuters. Roads remained risky, especially on highways and open stretches.

Temperatures have also fallen further. Minimum temperatures stayed below normal in many districts, increasing the feeling of cold. Cold winds from the north have added to the chill, making mornings and nights harsher for residents.

Weather officials said foggy conditions are likely to continue over the next few days. They advised people to avoid unnecessary travel during early hours. Drivers should use fog lights and maintain safe speeds. Elderly people and children were advised to stay warm.

The department expects no immediate relief, though a slight rise in temperature may occur later this week.

The Meteorological Department warned that fog will stay through the early hours in many districts. People felt strong chill, especially before sunrise, and many wrapped up in warm clothes. Fog lifted a bit later in the day, but skies remained mostly cloudy.

Train services faced major delays, with some trains arriving hours late at Patna Junction. Several flights were also canceled due to poor visibility, adding to passenger woes.

Officials said the cold wave may continue for the next few days with little change expected in maximum and minimum temperatures. Most districts are likely to see similar cold and foggy conditions, with early morning fog persisting. Residents are advised to allow extra time when traveling and stay warm during early hours.
