Delhi's air quality saw a remarkable improvement on Friday as sunny skies and brisk winds helped disperse pollutants, weather scientists said.

The Capital's 24-hour average air quality index (AQI) improved by over 150 points — from a season-high 373 (very poor) at 4pm on Thursday to 218 (poor) at the same time on Friday. By 8pm, it further dropped to 203 (poor), according to Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data.

However, forecasters warned that the relief may be short-lived, with conditions expected to turn unfavourable again on Saturday, likely pushing the AQI back to the ‘very poor’ range.
