Air Quality in State ‘Moderate’: CPCB

According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Delhi's Air Quality Index (AQI) stood at 143, which falls under the 'moderate' category. This level is not considered harmful for individuals who do not suffer from asthma or other respiratory illnesses.

As per CPCB data, an AQI between 101 and 200 is categorized as ‘moderate,’ while levels above 200 are classified as ‘poor,’ ‘very poor,’ or ‘severe.’

No rainfall was recorded in any part of the capital over the past 24 hours. However, the Meteorological Department believes that expected rain and strong winds later today could help bring down pollution levels while also providing some relief from the heat.

The people are advised to carry umbrellas and light jackets, as sudden weather changes remain a possibility.
