El Niño, Stubble Burning Raise Concerns Over Delhi's Winter Air

The article warns that Delhi could have very dirty air during winter.

It says calmer winds linked to a possible Super El Niño could make it harder for pollution to move away.

Fireworks and smoke from burning leftover paddy plants may add more pollution in November.

The article says this is a concern because parts of northern India had much less rain than usual.

Some farmers may have planted paddy early, which could mean they harvest earlier too.

The author says some farmers now burn fields in the afternoon rather than the morning.

That could make fires easier to miss for satellites that usually take morning pictures.

The author says better fire counting is important for dealing with the pollution.
