Capital records AQI of 339 after 60-point jump in 24 hours; meteorologists forecast relief as western disturbance brings stronger winds

In January in Delhi, air pollution was very bad not just because of fine dust but also due to high levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) and other toxic gases. A study of official air quality data found that NO₂ stayed above safe limits for over 25 days at most monitoring stations, and benzene, a cancer-linked gas, was above the World Health Organization’s recommended level on many days.

Delhi weather today: Construction activities and vehicular restrictions have been eased in NCR as Grap-3 measures are lifted due to improving air quality.

A news report claims that officials in India's capital city, Delhi, have been interfering with air quality monitors.

A major investigation has revealed a critical failure in Delhi's air pollution monitoring system. Two-thirds of the national capital does not have access to reliable, real-time air quality data.

Delhi has 38 air quality monitors, but their placement leaves out 65% of the national capital without reliable air quality estimates.

The national capital Delhi woke up to a cold and foggy Monday morning, with the minimum temperature recorded at 10 degrees Celsius.

According to the monthly data, the last time Delhi logged a cooler November was in 2020, when the average minimum was 10.3°C.

The streak began in early November as the winter pollution season took hold, but unlike previous years, farm fires have contributed far less to the crisis.

Between November 1 and 15, Delhi logged an average Air Quality Index (AQI) of 348, its cleanest early-November in three years — but that still falls in the ‘very poor’ category.

The November 1 to 15 stretch that has historically produced the Capital’s foulest air — has logged its lowest average air quality index (AQI) in three years.

The article reports that the city's Air Quality Index (AQI) remained in the 'severe' category for the third consecutive day, recording an average of 404. Crucially, this marks the third day in a row that the Centre's Air Quality Early Warning System (EWS) missed its forecast, having predicted the air quality would be 'very poor' instead of 'severe'.
