AQI remains ‘ very poor’
And though the AQI improved from Saturday’s 336, it continued to remain in the ‘very poor’ category at 319. According to the SAFAR forecast, for the next three days, the upper-level winds are from the northwest direction, which is likely to increase the transport of pollutants from the stubble burning region if fire counts increase.
The AQI is likely to be within ‘very poor’ for the next three days due to the net effect of transport, local emissions, and efficiency of dispersion and ventilation.
AQI parameters
An AQI between zero and 50 is considered ‘good’, 51 and 100 ‘satisfactory’, 101 and 200 ‘moderate’, 201 and 300 ‘poor’, 301 and 400 ‘very poor’, and 401 and 500 ‘severe’.
The weather office said that the maximum and minimum temperature will settle around 27 and 8 degrees Celsius on Sunday. The humidity will oscillate between 90 per cent to 58 per cent, it said.
