Ethiopia volcano eruption live updates: Will Ethiopia volcanic eruption impact Delhi pollution?

Ethiopia volcano eruption live updates: The IMD has said that the volcanic eruption is set to impact Delhi and its neighbouring region in the coming hours. “This will begin to impact Gujarat and other parts of Delhi-NCR in the next few hours. It is already nearing Gujarat and we will see its impact over Delhi-NCR and neighbouring northern India in the next few hours,” IMD director general M Mohapatra told HT.

He said that the impact of the volcanic ash will result in a rise in temperature. However, it is unclear whether it will impact air quality.

“The impact over cities will mainly be a marginal rise in the temperature. Similar to clouds, the minimum will rise. It is unclear whether it will impact air quality, but any significant impact is unlikely as it is at higher levels,” Mohapatra said.
