Delhi Pollution: AQI Improves To ‘Poor’ Amid Cold Wave, IMD Issues Orange Alert For Dense Fog

This improvement in the AQI has been attributed to favorable meteorological conditions, such as rain and increased wind speed.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an orange alert for dense to very dense fog today. The maximum and minimum temperatures are expected to remain at 19°C and 8°C, respectively.
