Air Quality in Delhi-NCR is deteriorating day by day. The national territory is under a tight grip of thick haze of dust and smog. We do know that many reasons are responsible for the rise in pollution. Saying that both weather and human generated reasons are responsible for the increased levels.

Now it’s been almost 10 days since light winds are prevailing over Delhi-NCR region and they are changing their direction also very frequently.

As per Skymet Weather, in the coming 3 days, a marginal drop in pollution level is expected due to the strengthening of north-westerly winds. The pollution level would be low during day time. During early morning and late evenings, haze would continue to persist.

Along with this it is also expected that till November 6, we might see a slight difference in the pollution level. However, other factors like vehicular emission, absence of rain, high levels of humidity and stubble burning in Punjab and Haryana would continue to persist.

Due to certain unfavorable weather and human generated conditions and coming festival of Deepawali, the pollution levels would once again go up.

The intensity of winds is also expected to decrease post November 6, thereby by November 7, we would once again see a rise in pollution level.

The concerned authorities have taken certain measures in order to curb pollution like ban on construction sites, excavation activities, shutting of industries that run on coal and biomass etc.

Since the inhabitants of Delhi are living in poor air quality conditions, so they are advised to wear masks and remain indoors as much as possible.
