Delhi's air quality deteriorates to 'Moderate'

After nearly a week of "satisfactory" air, Delhi's AQI nudged up to 112 on Monday, landing in the "moderate" zone.
The city saw cloudy skies, 70% humidity, and a slightly cooler-than-usual high of 36.2°C.

TL;DR

With monsoon expected tomorrow, cleaner air could be on way

Air quality affects how easy it is to be outdoors or even just breathe comfortably—especially for young people who are out and about.
The good news: with the monsoon expected tomorrow and IMD's yellow alert for rain and storms, cleaner air could be on the way soon.

Monsoon rains usually help clear things up further

While an AQI of 112 isn't ideal, it's way better than Delhi's winter pollution spikes (which can top 700).
Monsoon rains usually help clear things up further, so there's hope for fresher air ahead.
