Wednesday morning brought a soothing drizzle to the NCR as heavy clouds claimed the skies, marking a departure from recent dry spells. Accompanied by lively winds, this weather flip has marginally cleansed the atmosphere, easing air quality concerns for residents in Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, and beyond.
The weather bureau outlines a cloudy day ahead with light showers possible. Expect 11°C mornings warming to 26°C afternoons. Brighter days follow: February 19 offers 12-28°C in clear weather, same for the 20th. On the 21st, 13-28°C prevails.
February 22-23 forecast maximums of 29°C with 13°C lows, indicating steady increases after today’s relative coolness.
Air remains dicey. Delhi logs poor AQI at Alipur (255), Anand Vihar (285), Ashok Vihar (264); moderate at Ayanagar (179), CRRI Mathura Road (185). Severe in Bawana (307), poor in Chandni Chowk (286), DTU (249).
Ghaziabad: Indirapuram (296 poor), Loni (352 severe), Sanjay Nagar (203 moderate), Vasundhara (268 poor). Noida: Sector-125 (275), -62 (220), -1 (205), -116 (236)—mostly poor. Gusts and precipitation have provided some purification, yet many zones stay unhealthy. Watch for shifts as heat builds.
