Residents get temporary relief from hazardous pollution as Delhi’s AQI dropped from ‘poor’ to ‘moderate’, improving health and outdoor comfort.
Delhi experienced a notable shift in atmospheric conditions as pollutant levels dropped, bringing the air quality index to a moderate rating of 185. This positive change follows a continuous three day stretch where conditions were categorized as poor. Residents in the capital region recently felt cooler temperatures during the early morning hours, providing a refreshing start to the day. Meteorological predictions indicate that daytime high temperatures will peak between 32 and 34 degrees Celsius as the day progresses.
