Thick fog surrounding Delhi airport on Sunday morning forced more than 20 flights to be delayed resulting in late arrivals and disruption across the Gulf.

Low visibility procedures were enforced at the capital’s Indira Gandhi International Airport in the early hours, with passengers advised to check the latest flight information before heading to the airport.

Delays were expected to cause disruption until Sunday afternoon, when the fog should lift.

Scheduled flights out of Delhi for Dubai, Sharjah, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Oman were all delayed due to the conditions.

Affected operators included FlyDubai, Air India, Gulf Air, Spice Jet, Indigo and Saudi Arabia Airlines.

Temperatures plummeted to 1.5C on Saturday, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting the cold snap to continue until Tuesday, with the potential for more fog and further airline disruption to come.

Going grey? A stylist's advice

If you’re going to go grey, a great style, well-cared for hair (in a sleek, classy style, like a bob), and a young spirit and attitude go a long way, says Maria Dowling, founder of the Maria Dowling Salon in Dubai.
It’s easier to go grey from a lighter colour, so you may want to do that first. And this is the time to try a shorter style, she advises. Then a stylist can introduce highlights, start lightening up the roots, and let it fade out. Once it’s entirely grey, a purple shampoo will prevent yellowing.
“Get professional help – there’s no other way to go around it,” she says. “And don’t just let it grow out because that looks really bad. Put effort into it: properly condition, straighten, get regular trims, make sure it’s glossy.”
