Delhi’s air quality stayed in the ‘poor’ category on Friday, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) causing worry. Various monitoring stations reported different AQI levels across the city, with readings ranging from moderate to poor. Health experts are advising residents, especially those with respiratory issues, to limit outdoor activities during peak pollution hours.
The city is experiencing warmer weather for February, with afternoon temperatures rising steadily. Despite the cool mornings and evenings, prolonged sun exposure during peak hours is becoming uncomfortable. Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of 30.2 degrees Celsius and a minimum of 12.6 degrees Celsius on Thursday, with a light breeze offering some relief from the heat.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts clear skies over Delhi-NCR in the upcoming days, with temperatures remaining relatively stable. Maximum temperatures are expected to range between 31 and 33 degrees Celsius, while minimum temperatures will hover around 15 to 16 degrees Celsius. The IMD has also issued warnings about two weak Western Disturbances that may bring light rain and snowfall to the Western Himalayan region on specific dates.
