air quality
Delhi’s air quality still remains a matter of concern. On April 3, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) recorded a total AQI of 266 (‘poor’ category, in the range of 201–300), mainly due to PM10. Of the 41 stations, 33 recorded ‘poor’, 7 ‘very poor’ and 1 ‘moderate’ category. The latest real-time reading on April 4 remained in the ‘unhealthy’ to ‘poor’ range (around 150-250), indicating a health risk for sensitive groups. Rain may provide temporary relief by settling the dust, but more major measures are needed for sustained improvement.
The IMD advises to keep an eye on weather updates, avoid open areas during thunderstorms, and secure loose clothing to protect against strong winds. The coming week will see cloudy skies and occasional rain, keeping temperatures below the normal average for April. Keep track of the official sources of IMD and CPCB for latest alerts and AQI data related to your district.
