The Indian Meteorological Department said that Delhi is likely to see a cloudy sky with light rain on Tuesday.
As the maximum temperature on Monday was 33.7°C and the minimum was 24.6°C, it’s expected to be at 33°C and 25°C, respectively, on Tuesday.
An AQI between zero and 50 is considered ‘good’, 51 and 100 ‘satisfactory’, 101 and 200 ‘moderate’, 201 and 300 ‘poor’, 301 and 400 ‘very poor’, and 401 and 500 ‘severe’.
As per the data published by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the air quality index of Delhi stood at 158, which comes under the moderate category.
On Monday, the Union Ministry of Earth Science’s air quality monitoring center, the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (Safar), said, “AQI today indicates ‘upper end of satisfactory’ air quality. Dust (size > 2.5 micrometres) contributes 65% to PM10. For the next 3 days (20th, 21st, 22nd) peak wind speed is likely to be ~ 8-15 km/h causing moderate dispersion and AQI is likely to be within ‘satisfactory’ or ‘lower end of moderate’ due to expected trace rain spells. Moderate ventilation is maintained by a moderate temperature (32-35°C) and mixing layer height (2.0 km).”
