New Delhi: Capital gets help on Sundays with improving air quality from the “severe” category to “very bad”.
The overall air quality index (AQI) stood at 330 against 437 on Saturday.
This is likely to remain in the “very bad” category for the next few days.
Although the number of agricultural fires remained high at 3,445, the share of burning stumps at PM2.5 Delhi was reduced from 31% on Saturday to 12% on Sunday due to reducing the wind speed of transportation.
The air quality system and weather forecasting and research (Safar) said, “AQI is likely to increase over the next two days because the wind at the transportation level slows down, resulting in lower intrusion than pollutants related to fire in Delhi.” Track the level of pollution in your city is also an increase in air quality due to high increase in mixing layers and decreased water content.
RK Jenamani, a senior scientist in the Indian Meteorology Department, said, “There was no change in local wind because they were mostly light or calm in the last 24 hours in Safdarjung, while it was around 5-7kmph between 11:30 a.m.
and 3 pm at the Palam.
Reduction Humidity continues above Delhi with relative humidity of 30-55%.
However, the anti-cycle wind pattern, which has an impact on moderate to severe fog conditions, has shifted to Delhi southwest.
“Meeting the official said the visibility in the fog was 1,000-1,500 meters above Safdarjung, while at the Palam it remained at 1,500-200 meters since Saturday night.
No fog was reported on November 13 night or the next morning.
The minimum temperature drops to 10.1 degrees Celsius, three degrees below normal.
Mahesh Palawat from Weather Skymet said, “When the layer of smoke is thinning, the sun increases the isolation and heating atmosphere, thus raising the height of the mixing layer.” The air quality management commission in NCR and adjacent areas said, “adverse air quality is also strongly influenced by a dust storm that moves in from the southwestern direction of the Desert Thar, which strengthens significantly PM2.5 and PM10 levels.” Safar said the air quality might remain in the “very bad” category for the next few days.
“If locking is implemented for the next two days, air quality can increase a little.
However, it will likely remain very bad for the next two days if the stump burning plug does not increase.
AQI is likely to deteriorate from Tuesday night due to a calm wind.
On Wednesday , it’s likely to be at the top end of a very bad category.
