Monsoon has bid farewell from the country and now the weather is showing two different colors. On one hand, while pink cold has knocked in the hilly states of North India, many states of South India are struggling with the warning of heavy rain. Amidst all this, the condition of the country’s capital Delhi is the worst, where there is no rain, but pollution has started suffocating the people.
Delhi-NCR’s air becomes poisonous, situation worsens
This is a difficult time for the people of Delhi-NCR. The air quality remains in ‘very poor’ category for the third consecutive day.
AQI reaches 353: The city’s average air quality index (AQI) was recorded at 353 on Wednesday, the worst level so far this season.
Why did the situation worsen? The biggest reason for this is the cessation of wind. The wind speed has reduced so much that the pollution particles are stuck in the sky and are unable to go anywhere. The wind almost stops at night.
What will happen next? The Meteorological Department estimates that Delhi’s AQI will remain in the ‘very poor’ category till Saturday. A weak Western Disturbance is expected to arrive around October 27, but it is unlikely to bring much relief as there will be neither heavy rainfall nor any increase in wind speed.
How will the weather be in UP, Bihar and mountains?
- Uttar Pradesh: There may be light rain at some places till October 25, but the weather will remain dry at most places. Light fog may occur in the morning and the nights have started getting cold.
- Bihar:Here too the weather remains completely dry. Dense fog may be seen in the morning, due to which visibility will be low. The day will be sunny, but the nights will be cold.
- Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh:The effect of cold has started becoming visible on the mountains. There may be light rain at isolated places in the hilly areas of Uttarakhand. There is a possibility of light rain or snowfall at higher altitudes in Himachal too. The weather will remain normal from 23rd to 25th October.
Severe weather in South India
Unlike North India, the weather in South India has taken a severe form due to a low pressure area formed in the Bay of Bengal. The Meteorological Department has issued a warning that there is a possibility of heavy to extremely heavy rain in many states of South India for the next two days, due to which people have been advised to remain alert.
