The sky conditions will be mainly sunny and clear. At present, stubble burning is being practiced in Punjab and Haryana which leads to an immense release of toxic pollutants in the air. Due to stubble burning and the northwesterly winds prevailing across the northwestern plains, the pollution levels will increase across Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi and NCR even before Diwali.
