Delhi AQI, Pollution & Rain Update

Delhi AQI, Pollution & Rain Update
Current air quality in Delhi is fluctuating between Moderate and Poor AQI levels in different monitoring stations across the city. Some areas like Dwarka and parts of NCR have reported AQI above 200 today, while cleaner zones are below 100.
Rain Impact on Pollution
Recent light rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds have helped reduce dust and smog levels temporarily in Delhi-NCR. Weather agencies say more rain and dust-storm activity may arrive over the next 1–2 days, which can improve visibility and lower pollution for short periods.
Weather Outlook
Very hot conditions continue this week with temperatures around 44°C.
Thunderstorms and rain chances increase from Friday onward.
Rain may briefly improve AQI, but pollution can return quickly once winds slow down.
Health Advisory
If AQI stays above 150:
Limit outdoor exercise during afternoon/evening.
Use masks in heavy traffic areas.
Keep children and elderly indoors during dust storms.
Stay hydrated because of extreme heat conditions.
