Delhi’s air quality index improves to “poor,” and temperatures slightly increase as fog evaporates

The air quality index in Delhi improves to “poor,” and when the fog clears, the temperature rises a little.According to data from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Delhi’s air quality index (AQI) dropped below 300 on Monday for the first time since late last month, improving to the “poor” category. At nine in the morning, Delhi’s average AQI was 285 (bad), the lowest since October 29 when it was 268 (poor).Strong, steady winds that had been present since late Saturday night and gusted between 10 and 15 km/h helped spread the pollutants on Sunday. The region’s maximum and lowest temperatures have somewhat increased as a result of the fog’s decreased intensity.

On Monday morning, Delhi experienced shallow fog, with Safdarjung recording the lowest visibility at 900 meters. The lowest recorded temperature was 14°C, two degrees higher than average. On Sunday, it was 12°C. Today’s high, which was two degrees above average on Sunday at 29.1°C, is predicted to be about 28°C.

The capital’s maximum and lowest temperatures were above average, despite the persistence of northwesterly winds. On November 21, the lowest recorded minimum temperature this season was 10.2°C. On November 18, the lowest maximum temperature is 23.5°C.
