Due to a pressure gradient over Rajasthan and Gujarat region, dusty winds were prevailing over Delhi and adjoining areas. These dusty winds had not only caused the sky to look slightly polluted but had also caused the pollution levels to rise to quite an extent.

Also, its associated cyclonic circulation is seen over Central Pakistan and adjoining areas which is moving east northeastwards.
