Delhi's air quality to stay 'very poor' this week

India

Delhi's air isn't catching a break—the Air Quality Early Warning System for Delhi says the city will see "very poor" to "severe" air quality for at least the next six days.
Wednesday's AQI was 334 (a bit better than Tuesday's 354), but don't get your hopes up: forecasts show no big improvement coming soon.

Why does this matter?

Breathing in Delhi right now means dealing with high levels of PM2.5, which is tough on your lungs, especially if you're out and about.
Pollution peaked at a hazardous 461 just days ago, and most areas are still stuck in the "very poor" zone.
Cars and nearby regions like Jhajjar are big contributors—so it's not just what's happening inside city limits.
If you're planning outdoor activities or have health concerns, it might be time to take extra care.
