Prevailing Cold Wave Keeps Delhi Air ‘Very Poor’

New Delhi: Overall air quality in the national capital on Thursday remained ‘very poor’ as the Met said the current cold wave conditions prevailing over northwest India may not allow it to improve. “The minimum temperature is likely to fall in Delhi during the next few days resulting in additional moisture in the air, mainly due to drastic drop in mercury and ground frost conditions over some parts of northwest India. “Hence, air quality will remain in the very poor zone,” System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR) said. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), night temperatures over many parts of Delhi fell by 2-3 degrees Celsius, reaching 4 degrees Celsius on Wednesday night — the coldest so far this season.
