Delhi and Mumbai Face Air Quality Issues
Delhi and Mumbai are having problems with their air quality.
In Delhi, the night temperature was higher than usual, and there was a little bit of rain.
The air quality there is 'very poor.'
In Mumbai, there's a lot of smog, and the air quality is 'severe' in some areas.
This is because of all the building work happening in the city.
The weather in Mumbai is expected to be clear, but the air quality is still bad.
People are worried about how this affects their health.
The weather in Delhi is supposed to be cloudy with some rain and wind.
Both cities are trying to deal with these issues.
Delhi recorded a minimum temperature of 12.1°C, higher than the seasonal average, with relative humidity at 97%.
Delhi's AQI was 315, classified as 'very poor,' and is expected to remain in this range until February 3.
Mumbai experienced thick smog with an overall AQI of 308, categorized as 'severe,' with some areas reaching 'hazardous' levels.
The high AQI in Mumbai is attributed to ongoing construction and redevelopment activities generating dust.
Delhi is forecasted to have cloudy skies with light rain, thunderstorms, and gusty winds, while Mumbai's temperature is expected to range between 21°C and 31°C.
