Delhi-NCR faces an ongoing air pollution crisis with the Air Quality Index (AQI) remaining very poor and no significant rainfall predicted until November 15. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts no rainfall during this period, offering little hope for relief from toxic air. As of 6 am today, Delhi's overall AQI stood at 311, while several monitoring stations reported readings close to the severe level of 400. Notably, Chandni Chowk had an AQI of 400, followed by Pusa at 398 and NSUT Jaffarpur at 384. Other locations also reported high pollution levels. Despite an approaching Western Disturbance, it is unlikely to bring immediate rainfall to Delhi-NCR, and wind speeds are expected to remain low, potentially trapping pollutants in the atmosphere. A decline in temperatures is not anticipated over the next few days, with maximum temperatures forecasted between 27 and 30 degrees Celsius, while minimum temperatures will likely hover around 14 to 17 degrees Celsius until November 15. The city recorded a marginal improvement in air quality on the morning after Diwali, but pollution levels remain a concern.
