North India Cold Wave ka asar naye saal ke saath shuru ho gaya hai. Aaj subah, 3 January 2026 ko, haalat tab aur kharab ho gayi jab Delhi-NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab aur Haryana ghane kohre (dense fog) ki chaadar mein lipat gaye. Mausam Vibhag (IMD) ne falling temperatures aur low visibility ko dekhte hue North India Cold Wave ke liye ‘Red Warning’ jaari kar di hai.

North India Cold Wave: Ghane Kohre (Fog) ka Kehar

Sabse zyada pareshani thand se nahi, balki jaanleva kohre se ho rahi hai. Noida, Greater Noida, Lucknow aur Kanpur jaise bade shehron mein aaj subah visibility ‘near-zero’ darj ki gayi. Iska seedha asar aam jan-jeevan aur transport par pada hai.

Flight aur Train Operations par asar: Hazaron yatri pareshan hain kyunki IGI Airport samet kai airports par flights delay ya divert kar di gayi hain. Reports ke mutabik, North India Cold Wave ke chalte Indian Railways ki 50 se zyada trains ghanton late chal rahi hain. New Delhi Railway Station aur Kanpur Central par yatri thand mein thithurne ko majboor hain. Highways par gaadiyan rengne par majboor hain, jisse accidents ka khatra badh gaya hai.

School Closures aur Govt Orders

In severe conditions ko dekhte hue, administration ne sakht kadam uthaye hain:

• Uttar Pradesh: CM Yogi Adityanath ke nirdesh par sabhi schools (Nursery se Class 8 tak) ko 5 January 2026 tak band rakhne ka order diya hai.
• Delhi-NCR: Private schools ne timings change kar diye hain, ab classes subah 10 baje ke baad shuru hongi.
• Haryana & Punjab: Yahan bhi primary schools mein chutti ghoshit kar di gayi hai taaki bachchon ko is North India Cold Wave se bachaya ja sake.

Kab milegi rahat? (IMD Prediction)

Logon ke man mein sabse bada sawal yahi hai ki is haad kampa dene wali thand se rahat kab milegi? IMD ke senior scientists ke mutabik, agle 24 se 48 ghante tak sthiti aisi hi bani rehne ki sambhavna hai.

Ye dense fog ka spell 5 January ki subah tak jari reh sakta hai. Uske baad ek naye Western Disturbance ke Himalayas region mein aane se hawaon ka rukh badlega. Tab jakar kohre mein kami aur tapman (temperature) mein thoda sudhar aane ki umeed hai. Lekin tab tak, sheetlahar (cold wave) ka prakop jaari rahega.

Thand aur Fog se kaise bachein? (Safety Tips)

Doctors ne warning di hai ki ye mausam Heart Patients aur Asthmatics ke liye khatarnak ho sakta hai.

1. Travel Precautions: Agar bahut zaroori na ho to subah 9 baje tak aur shaam ko andhera hone ke baad drive karne se bachein. Agar drive karna pade to fog lights aur low beam ka use karein.
2. Layering is Key: Ek moti jacket se behtar hai ki do-teen layers mein garam kapde pehnein. Thermal innerwear pehnna zaroori hai kyunki ye body heat ko trap karta hai.
3. Dietary Changes: Garam fluids (soup, adrak wali chai, gunguna paani) lete rahein. Vitamin C (oranges, amla) ka sevan karein taaki immunity strong rahe.
4. Heating Safety: Agar aap room heater ya angithi (coal fire) use kar rahe hain, to ventilation ka dhyan rakhein. Band kamre mein angithi jalane se Carbon Monoxide poisoning ho sakti hai jo jaanleva hai.

Global Warming: Kya ye New Normal hai?

Kya ye sirf sardi hai ya kuch aur? Environmental experts ka kehna hai ki ye jo extreme weather patterns hum dekh rahe hain—kabhi record-breaking garmi aur ab ye unusual, lamba chalne wala dense fog—ye sab Global Warming aur Climate Change ke clear indicators hain.

Polar Vortex Shift: Climate change ke kaaran Arctic region garam ho raha hai. Is vajah se ‘Polar Vortex’ (dhruviya ilakon ki thandi hawayein) unstable hokar neeche ki taraf (India ke Northern Plains mein) aa rahi hain. Yahi karan hai ki North India Cold Wave ab pehle se zyada intense aur lambi hoti ja rahi hai.

Pollution ka role: Jab fog (kohra) pollution (dhuaan) ke saath milta hai, to wo ‘Smog’ ban jata hai. Ye smog zameen ke kareeb ek blanket bana leta hai jo suraj ki kirno ko zameen tak aane hi nahi deta. Isse ‘Cold Day’ conditions paida hoti hain jahan din ka tapman bhi 10-12 degree se upar nahi ja paata.

Future Outlook: Agar humne abhi bhi fossil fuels ka use kam nahi kiya aur carbon emissions par control nahi lagaya, to future mein aisi extreme sardi aur fog hamara ‘New Normal’ ban jayegi. Hamein sustainable lifestyle apnane ki sakht zaroorat hai. Ped lagana, vehicles ka kam use karna aur renewable energy ki taraf shift hona ab option nahi, majboori ban chuka hai.

Filhal, apna dhyan rakhein aur North India Cold Wave ke dauran zaroori savdhani bartein.
