Delhi Air Quality Slips to ‘Poor’ Category; Rain Likely to Bring Relief Today
Delhi’s air quality deteriorated to the ‘poor’ category, though weather officials say light to moderate rain later today may help improve pollution levels.
Air quality in Delhi worsened on Monday, slipping into the ‘poor’ category as pollution levels rose across several monitoring stations in the national capital. According to air quality data, an increase in particulate matter was recorded amid unfavourable meteorological conditions.
However, there may be some respite on the way. The weather department has forecast light to moderate rainfall later today, which is expected to help settle dust and pollutants, potentially improving air quality in the coming hours. Cloudy skies and a slight drop in temperatures are also likely to accompany the rain.
Authorities have advised vulnerable groups, including children, the elderly and those with respiratory conditions, to limit prolonged outdoor exposure until air quality improves. Officials continue to monitor the situation closely, with further weather changes expected to influence pollution levels over the next few days.
