Delhi experiences a chilly start with mist and haze, mild afternoon temperatures, evening smog, and cold nights as air quality worsens, urging residents to take precautions for health and outdoor activities.
Health precautions advised due to worsening AQI.
New Delhi: Delhi wakes up to cold temperatures around twelve degrees Celsius with haze and mist reducing visibility in many areas. The air feels damp, and the pollution levels remain high, with the AQI in very poor to hazardous range, making breathing difficult for sensitive groups.
By afternoon, temperatures are expected to rise to twenty two to twenty three degrees Celsius, providing some relief from the morning chill. The skies will remain hazy, limiting sunshine and reducing visibility across the city. Residents may feel warmer but the persistent smog will make outdoor conditions less comfortable.
Evening will bring a gradual drop in temperature as the sun sets. Smog will thicken near the ground, making the air feel colder and heavier. Visibility will be reduced further, and pollution levels will remain high due to stagnant air, making it important to avoid unnecessary outdoor activities.
Night temperatures will fall to around ten to twelve degrees Celsius. Haze and smog will persist, making the night feel colder than the actual temperature. Residents should prepare for the chill and take measures to limit exposure to polluted air, especially those with respiratory or cardiovascular conditions.
The minimum temperature today is expected to be around ten to twelve degrees Celsius in the early morning hours, while the maximum temperature is likely to reach twenty two to twenty three degrees Celsius in the afternoon. The combination of cold mornings, mild afternoons, and heavy pollution may cause discomfort throughout the day.
Greater Noida tops India’s pollution list; THESE two cities in ‘severe’ category
Air quality in Delhi remains a significant concern, with much of the city reporting very poor to hazardous AQI levels. Smog and stagnant air trap pollutants close to the surface, posing health risks, particularly for children, the elderly, and those with respiratory conditions. Worsening pollution makes daily activities challenging and reduces visibility across the city.
Limiting outdoor activity, especially in the morning and evening, is essential. Wearing protective masks outdoors, keeping windows closed, and using air purifiers indoors can help maintain healthier air. Staying hydrated, avoiding strenuous activity, and following medical guidance for those with respiratory or heart conditions are important steps to minimize health risks.
