Noida, February 25: The weather in the National Capital Region (NCR) is gradually changing, as reported by the India Meteorological Department (IMD). In the coming days, both maximum and minimum temperatures are expected to rise steadily.
However, strong surface winds are also anticipated during the daytime. Despite this, the Air Quality Index (AQI) is once again trending towards the severe to extremely severe category, raising concerns among residents.
According to the IMD, on February 25, the maximum temperature was recorded at 30 degrees Celsius, while the minimum was at 13 degrees Celsius. For February 26, a maximum of 31 degrees and a minimum of 14 degrees are forecasted. On February 27, the maximum temperature could reach 32 degrees, with a minimum of 15 degrees Celsius.
Strong surface winds are expected on February 25 and 26, while light mist is predicted for February 27. Currently, no warnings have been issued for any of these days. However, the air quality situation in Delhi remains alarming.
AQI levels at various monitoring stations in Delhi have reached serious levels. Anand Vihar recorded an AQI of 342, classified as extremely severe. Other areas reported AQI levels of 256 in Alipur, 258 in Ashok Vihar, 279 in Bawana, 265 in Burari Crossing, 275 in Chandni Chowk, 221 at CRRI Mathura Road, 219 at Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range, 229 at DTU, and 192 in Aya Nagar, nearing the medium to poor category.
In Noida, AQI levels were recorded at 244 in Sector 125, 227 in Sector 62, 206 in Sector 1, and 222 in Sector 116. Meanwhile, in Ghaziabad, Indirapuram recorded an AQI of 283, Loni 289, Sanjay Nagar 204, and Vasundhara 281. Experts suggest that the rise in temperature and local pollution sources are affecting air quality. While strong winds may provide some relief, residents of NCR need to remain vigilant about pollution levels.
