Delhi logs 'severe' air day despite overnight drizzle
Hindustan Times
|January 25, 2024
Pollution levels in Delhi worsened into the "severe" zone of the air quality index (AQI) on Wednesday, as calm winds exacerbated the effect of local emissions, even as the city's night temperature inched up by more than a degree.

The weather station in Safdarjung also recorded "trace" rainfall early in the morning.
Particulate pollutants in the air also mingled with the fog to form a sheet of smog that tinted the entire city for large parts of the day, pinching the visibility to 200m and hampering flight schedules once again.
Delhi clocked a 24-hour average AQI of 409 at 4pm, significantly worse than 368 (very poor) a day ago and 333 on Monday, according to data from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). Wednesday's AQI was the worst since 447 on January 14.
