The National Capital Region (NCR) is experiencing challenging weather conditions, with a mix of morning fog, high daytime temperatures, and severe pollution levels. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts clear skies and dry weather ahead, with temperatures reaching 37 degrees Celsius during the day and 18 degrees Celsius at night. The region is set to face similar weather on March 12 and 13, with temperatures around 35 degrees Celsius and poor air quality persisting.
Pollution levels in the NCR have escalated, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) hitting alarming levels in various areas, posing health risks. Greater Noida, Noida, and Ghaziabad are among the worst-affected regions, with AQI readings well into the “severe” category. The onset of heat has exacerbated the situation, making it challenging for residents to cope with the deteriorating air quality and visibility issues.
Despite the rising temperatures, Delhi-NCR encountered unexpected fog and haze, leading to concerns about environmental impacts. Experts attribute this phenomenon to dust carried by winds from neighboring regions, dismissing earlier speculations. The region has already witnessed record-breaking temperatures this March, accentuating the need for precautionary measures to address the adverse weather conditions.
