Get ready, Delhi-NCR: IMD forecasts a stormy interlude with rain, lightning, and high winds battering the region on January 31-February 1, set to cool things down significantly. Foggy mornings precede turbulent evenings, all while air quality edges toward recovery.
January 30 features moderate fog, 19°C highs, 10°C lows. Escalation hits January 31—morning mist evolves into thunder-rain with winds, temps at 20°C/7°C.
February 1 promises more: haze by day, storms by night, 18°C/12°C range. These conditions are ventilating the air, a boon after prolonged smog.
AQI snapshots reveal hope amid concern. Yellow zones: Aya Nagar (188), CRRI Mathura Road (188), Pusa (169). Red alerts in Dr. Karni Singh Range (304), RK Puram (316), Siri Fort (314), Wazirpur (303).
Noida’s Sector-62 (183) improves; Sectors 125, 1, 116 (264-267) lag. Ghaziabad: Indirapuram (288), Sanjay Nagar (217), Vasundhara (314), Loni (316).
Safety first, says IMD—hunker down from winds and rain, dodge risks, and ease through fog. This weather pivot not only chills the mercury but revitalizes the air residents breathe.
