Dense fog episodes are increasingly affecting northern India during winter months. Explain the formation of fog and its major types. Examine the impacts of persistent fog on weather conditions and socio-economic activities in India.

Tips for your answer

  • Start with a scientific definition
  • Briefly define fog in meteorological terms (visibility, condensation, dew point) to establish conceptual clarity.
  • Classify before explaining
  • Mention 4–5 important types of fog relevant to Indian conditions rather than listing all types mechanically.
  • Link geography with governance
  • In impacts, move beyond transport disruption to include air quality, health, disaster management, and administrative preparedness.
