Tag: Very Poor Air Quality

Delhi’s air quality remained in the “very poor” category for the fifth straight day on Thursday, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) continuing to stay over 350. Calm winds have continued to hinder the dispersion of pollutants, keeping the capital’s air quality at dangerous levels. The city has recorded a rise in the AQI since November 3, when it peaked at 382, marking the highest level of the season so far.

Delhi's air quality remained at hazardous levels on Wednesday, as the city continued to face a "very poor" air quality index (AQI) for the fourth consecutive day. Calm winds and a layer of shallow fog contributed to the ongoing air pollution, with visibility dipping to around 800 meters early in the morning. The shallow fog, which was recorded for a second day, has exacerbated the situation, making it difficult for pollutants to disperse.

Delhiites experienced a slightly warmer morning as the national capital recorded a minimum temperature of 7.4 degrees Celsius, just below the normal mark, on Wednesday. This rise in temperature contrasted with the recent trend of below-normal temperatures observed in the city.
