Delhi Air Quality To Reduce With Coming Summers
According to the Central Pollution Control Board, the Delhi’s Air Quality Index (AQI) reading at 6 AM was 350, in the “very poor” zone, as against 295 on Monday, which was in the “poor” category.
Scientists at the India Meteorological Department said that a western disturbance over the hills is likely to slow wind speed and also increase temperature in Delhi.
The minimum temperature in the national capital on Monday dropped to 6.3 degrees Celsius, the lowest in November since 2003.
The lowest minimum temperature fell to 6.9°C on Sunday, which was then the lowest minimum of November temperature since 2003.
“Such minimum the temperature in November was earlier recorded on November 29, 2003, when it dropped to 6.1°C,” said Kuldeep Srivastava, head of IMD’s regional weather forecasting centre.
