Delhi's Air Quality Remains Hazardous with Smog and Fog Expected to Persist

New Delhi, November 11 -- The Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology's (IITM) air quality early warning system has predicted hazardous conditions to persist in the national capital for the next six days. According to the forecast, southeast winds at a speed of 04-08 km/h are expected to sweep through the city, accompanied by frequent instances of smog, mist, and shallow to moderate fog, primarily affecting morning hours.

The situation is likely to worsen again during evening and night hours under predominantly clear skies on Monday. However, it's worth noting that a technical issue has currently halted updates to IITM's Decision Support System (DSS), which typically reports daily emission contributions to PM2.5 levels.

Meanwhile, the city has experienced a slight decrease in temperature compared to previous days. Safdarjung, one of Delhi's most populous neighborhoods, recorded a maximum temperature of 31.6°C earlier today, two notches above normal. The average minimum temperature was also four notches higher than normal, reaching 18.4°C.

However, the outlook for Monday suggests that temperatures may rise slightly, peering into ranges of around 32°C during daytime hours and potentially dropping to 18°C at night.
