Delhi Records Consecutive Days of Satisfactory Air Quality Amid Rainfall

Delhi experienced its cleanest air spell this year with the Air Quality Index (AQI) remaining in the 'satisfactory' range for two consecutive days, recording 86 on Tuesday and 69 in the morning hours, according to the Central Pollution Control Board. This improvement follows recent rain and strong winds that helped reduce particulate matter. Ozone and gases like NO2 and CO were the primary pollutants, while forecasts predict continued moderate air quality with possible thunderstorms.
