On Friday, the maximum Air Quality Index was recorded at Faridabad and it touched the mark of 460. Greater Noida recorded AQI at 447 and Noida at 442. The prominent pollutant for all these places was PM 2.5.
As per experts, such poor air quality would affect healthy people and it might seriously impact those with existing respiratory and other diseases.
As of now, the winds have been traveling in no definite direction with variable wind speed. Due to these factors, the pollution levels have not gone down, and they are still in “severe” category.
As per Skymet Weather, in coming 2-3 days, the wind speed which is light and calm at present, will once again pace up. Then the pollution levels can see a drop with making a shift from “severe” to “very poor” or “poor” category.
Yesterday, the AQI recorded for Chandni Chowk is 411, Dhirpur is at 409, Mathura Road at 426, Delhi University at 370. Thus, we can say that Delhi pollution doesn’t seem to lose its grip for now.
However, the pollution layer which formed during the morning hours over the lower levels will continue to prolong for some more time.
Both day and night temperatures are expected to rise. Sky will be mainly sunny, and this diffused pattern will continue over Delhi region for next two days.
