New Delhi: There is no possibility of relief for the people suffering from air pollution in Delhi-NCR at present. According to the latest forecast of the Meteorological Department, there is no possibility of rain in the capital and surrounding areas from 10 to 15 November. In such a situation, there is little hope of getting relief from the poisonous air. The special thing is that from the night of 10th November, Western Disturbance can affect the Western Himalayan region, but its effect is not likely to be visible in the form of rain in Delhi.
Despite changes in weather, the problem of pollution may persist in Delhi-NCR. Weak winds and early morning fog can prevent pollutants from leaving the atmosphere.
Will it rain in Delhi till November 15?
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), there is no sign of rain in Delhi from November 9 to 15. During this period, the sky may remain partially clear and the wind speed is generally expected to be 5 to 15 kilometres per hour.
According to the Meteorological Department, on November 10 and 11, the maximum temperature can be between 27 and 29 degrees and the minimum temperature can be between 14 and 16 degrees Celsius. At the same time, the minimum temperature is expected to reach 15 to 17 degrees on November 12. The maximum temperature on November 13 and 14 can be 28 to 30 degrees.
Why will Delhi not get relief from Western Disturbance?
Western disturbance may affect the western Himalayan region from the night of 10 November. Due to this, there is a possibility of change in weather and rainy activities in the hilly areas. However, this weather system is not expected to have a direct impact in the form of rain in Delhi-NCR.
Rain and strong winds help in removing pollution particles from the atmosphere. But due to lack of these two in Delhi, the air quality may remain poor.
In which areas of Delhi did the AQI reach near 400?
According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data till 6 am on November 10, the Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded above 300 in many areas of Delhi.
The AQI reached 400 in Chandni Chowk, while it was recorded at 398 in Pusa. Apart from this, 380 AQI was recorded at Commonwealth Sports Complex, 384 at NSUT Jafarpur, 373 at Talkatora Garden and 372 at Mathura Road.
Will morning fog increase the problem of pollution?
The Meteorological Department has predicted light to moderate fog in the morning. With weak winds, fog can trap pollutants in the atmosphere. In such a situation, people of Delhi-NCR may have to face bad air in the coming days also. At present, there is no hope of reducing pollution due to rain or strong winds.
