Pollution continues to cause severe problems in Delhi. After one week of November, the city is still struggling with smog.
Winter has not yet arrived, and people are forced to breathe in toxic air. The pollution is not limited to Delhi, as the weather in nearby areas like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar,
and West Bengal remains unchanged. The Meteorological Department has stated that there will be no significant weather changes in North India for the next week.
Weather Conditions in Different Regions
The entire Delhi NCR region is covered in fog and smog. The air quality index (AQI) in Delhi is dangerously high, touching 400.
This combination of smog in the morning and fog at night is making the air even more polluted.
The temperature in several regions, from Punjab to West Bengal, is 3 to 4 degrees Celsius higher than usual.
The minimum temperature is also higher by one or two degrees Celsius. In Delhi NCR, the night temperature is reaching 20 to 21 degrees Celsius.
Meanwhile, Chennai and Kerala are experiencing continuous rainfall, which is expected to last until next week.
On Thursday, heavy rain caused 110 mm of rainfall in Alappuzha, Kerala, and 90 mm in Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry, and Karaikal.
The Meteorological Department has issued a yellow alert for heavy rain in Andaman Nicobar, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Puducherry for the next 24 hours.
In contrast to Delhi, cold weather is affecting other parts of the country.
Temperatures are continuously dropping in many states, and in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, the cold is expected to intensify starting Sunday.
