Delhi Air Quality Improves to 71 Due to Winds, But May Worsen as Rain Subsides
Delhi's air quality improved to an AQI of 71 on September 4, moving from the 'moderate' to 'satisfactory' category, mainly due to stronger winds dispersing pollutants and some isolated rainfall. Experts warn that as rainfall decreases, air quality may worsen and fluctuate through the month, with higher pollution levels expected by late September. Data from the Central Pollution Control Board confirms this trend, highlighting the temporary nature of the current improvement.
