As wind speed picks up, Delhi air quality stays in check
Delhi's air quality worsened to the "moderate" category, with an AQI of 193, and is forecasted to reach "poor" by Thursday. Cold northwesterly winds are contributing to the decline in air quality as they transport smoke from farm fires in neighboring states. The minimum temperature dipped below 20 degrees Celsius, slowing down the dispersion of pollutants. Measures have been implemented to mitigate the situation, including shutting down construction sites and encouraging unified commuting. The maximum temperature will remain around 35 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature is expected to drop to 18 degrees Celsius.
