The IMD predicted shallow fog on Wednesday
Delhi’s air quality deteriorated to the “very poor” category on Tuesday due to low wind speed while the city’s maximum temperature settled at 18 degrees Celsius, three notches below the season’s average.
The 24-hour air quality index of Delhi read 305 at 4 p.m., according to Central Pollution Control Board data. However, the AQIs of neighbouring cities were recorded in the ‘poor’ category. “Light rain is likely on Wednesday due to western disturbance that may improve AQI further to upper end of ‘moderate’ or lower end of ‘poor’,” the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR) said.
“From 2nd (January) onwards improvement in AQI is likely due to relatively high winds,” it said.
