Climate may reach a severe category on Diwali.

 

Weather experts say that this time Diwali is in October. There has not been a single day of rain in this month. The weather conditions are unfavorable, so people may be forced to breathe in severe category air on Diwali day this time. On Tuesday, AQI was recorded above 300 in eight areas. Among these, Mundka recorded the highest air index of 325. At the same time, AQI was above 200 in 25 areas.

Mild cold is being felt in the capital in the morning and evening. On the other hand, the sun is causing trouble in the afternoon. In such a situation, the weather may change after Diwali. According to the Meteorological Department, the cold winds coming from the mountains will cause a big drop in temperature.
