Delhi's air quality takes a hit as temps rise

India Dec 02, 2025

Delhi's air is back in the "very poor" zone, with the AQI spiking to 336 on Tuesday morning—up from 304 just a day before.
After a short break from severe pollution (which lasted most of November), things have quickly worsened again.

Cold wave watch: What's next for Delhi?

Experts say the bad air is sticking around until at least December 4.
While mornings are chilly with minimum temperatures between 5-9°C, the India Meteorological Department is keeping an eye out for cold wave conditions.
If temperatures drop even further for two days straight, official cold wave alerts could be on the way.
