Delhi recorded an overall Air Quality Index (AQI) of 268, better than the 305 reported a day earlier, according to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
Data from the CPCB’s Sameer app showed that five monitoring stations in the city reported air quality in the “very poor” category, while the remaining 33 recorded “poor” levels.
An AQI between 0 and 50 is considered “good”, 51 to 100 “satisfactory”, 101 to 200 “moderate”, 201 to 300 “poor”, 301 to 400 “very poor”, and 401 to 500 “severe”, according to CPCB standards.

The maximum temperature is likely to hover around 25°C, with the weather department forecasting partly cloudy sky.
