The IMD said the fog situation and visibility were expected to improve around December 22 night and December 23 morning due to a decrease in relative humidity at lower tropospheric levels over the Indo-Gangetic Plains, it said. Meanwhile, due to dry north/north-westerly winds from the Himalayas, cold wave conditions are likely to continue in isolated pockets of Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana and north Rajasthan during the next three to four days.
