Thus, the increased pollution level will maintain unless dry northwesterly winds take over the area. As per weathermen at Skymet Weather, with the present situation, it is anticipated that there will be no change in pollution levels during the next three to four days.
Though winds from Northwest direction may commence from October 31, the speed of winds will remain light to very light. Therefore, these winds will not be capable of bringing down the pollution levels. The pollution levels are higher than normal presently.
Despite the ban of firecrackers, the air quality of Delhi degraded. Some serious actions and measures should be taken against the practice of stubble burning and anything which is participating in degrading the quality of air every single day. Haze, mist, and fog are likely to prevail over northwest India and may increase also.
