Fog will show its effect in November
According to meteorologists, after the weather remains dry at present, there is a possibility of cold gaining momentum from the second week of November. According to the Regional Meteorological Centre, there is no rain in the state at present. The cold weather will remain like this in the evening and night. Even the sunlight will not be harsh. However, now the fog will show its effect in the coming days. Today, the maximum temperature in most of the districts of the state is likely to be 33 degrees Celsius while the minimum temperature is likely to be 18 degrees Celsius. There will be no significant change in the maximum and minimum temperatures of the state for the next two days.
There is no possibility of improvement in AQI, the situation will worsen
According to meteorologists, due to low temperature and light winds, there is usually fog in the morning and evening. Pollutants including dust and smoke particles get deposited on water vapor. In the absence of moderate or strong winds, pollutants are unable to spread and remain near the earth’s surface for a long time. This is the reason why the air quality index is in the very poor category. According to meteorologists, no major improvement in AQI is expected in the coming days. A further increase may be seen around Diwali. The AQI situation may become more serious in many cities in the coming days. According to doctors, in such a situation, do not do intensive outdoor activities in the morning and evening. Avoid prolonged or heavy exertion. Instead of jogging, take a short walk and take more breaks. If there are windows in the room then close them.
