Delhi's air quality index spiked to 400, classifying the city as hazardous. Meteorologists say an incoming western disturbance could help clear the smog.
Delhi's pollution monitoring network recorded an AQI of 400 on Tuesday, placing the capital in the hazardous category.
Meteorologists explain that a western disturbance – a low‑pressure system moving from the west – can bring cooler winds and increased cloud cover, potentially dispersing the smog.
If the disturbance takes effect, authorities expect a gradual drop in particulate levels, though the exact timing remains uncertain.
