‘Very Poor’ AQI In Delhi/NCR
The national capital recorded a ‘very poor’ AQI rising to 350 at 6 am on Friday. However, residents of Delhi may experience some respite from adverse weather conditions as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts rain on February 3, 2025. There is a high chance that rain will likely clear the air and improve visibility across the city. But if pollution levels continue to soar in Delhi, further deterioration in AQI is expected in the city in the coming days.
