Delhi's air quality has worsened, nearing the severe category with an AQI of 375. PM2.5 and PM10 levels are hazardous at 184.4 and 301.9, respectively. Weak winds and high humidity prevent pollutant dispersion, exacerbating smog and health risks.
Delhi's air quality has significantly deteriorated, reaching an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 375, which is close to the severe category. The city is enveloped in a thick haze and smog, with PM2.5 levels at 184.4 and PM10 at 301.9, both considered hazardous. Several areas, including Vivek Vihar and Anand Vihar, reported severe AQI levels. The poor air quality is attributed to weak winds under 10 kmph and high humidity, which prevent pollutants from dispersing. This situation poses serious health risks, especially for vulnerable groups. The weather forecast suggests a cloudy sky with potential light rain or drizzle, which may offer some relief.
