Delhi’s air quality has stayed in the “moderate” range for the seventh day in a row. On Tuesday, the lowest temperature was 11.7°C, which is a bit cooler than normal. The good news is that the temperature is expected to rise, with nighttime lows expected between 14-16°C on Wednesday, making the nights feel warmer.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) mentioned that both day and night temperatures will increase until Wednesday due to a weather change called a western disturbance affecting the area. Some light rain is possible on Thursday and Friday.
As for daytime temperatures, they might reach about 30°C by Wednesday. On Monday, the highest temperature was 27.5°C, which is two degrees higher than usual. The day before, it was 26.1°C.
The Air Quality Index (AQI) showed a reading of 188, still in the “moderate” range at 9am Tuesday. It was slightly better at 186 on Monday. Because of this, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the NCR decided to lift some restrictions under their Graded Response Action Plan.
Thanks to better mixing height and good weather conditions, pollution in the air is spreading out more effectively, which has led to an improvement in air quality. The AQI is expected to stay mostly in the “moderate” range, with some chances of slipping to the lower end of the “poor” category.
