Delhi weather: High humidity, mist make for warm, uncomfortable morning
On Saturday morning, Delhi felt warmer than usual for October, with temperatures starting at 19.6°C and peaking around 32-33°C.
But despite the sunny vibes, air quality took a hit—AQI hit 252 by 9am which lands firmly in the 'poor' (unhealthy) zone.
Why is air quality worsening?
High humidity and lingering mist are likely contributing to the worsening conditions by trapping pollutants close to the ground.
For anyone with asthma or breathing issues (and honestly, everyone else too), this means extra caution—especially if you're heading out early.
The fog could also make morning commutes tricky.
Delhi's air isn't getting much cleaner.
What to do if you have to step out?
Keep an eye on AQI updates before stepping out and try to avoid outdoor activities during peak pollution hours.
If you have respiratory concerns or just want to play it safe, maybe swap that morning run for an indoor workout until things clear up a bit.
