Gurugram, which is close to Delhi, has grown into a smoglike area due to the high air quality index, which shows that there is more pollution and humidity in the air. At six in the morning, Gurugram recorded AQI 266.
After Sunday, the weather will shift, and the temperature will drop.
Even in the second week of November, Delhiites who use fans may notice an impact in the weather starting on Sunday. It will get colder here as a result of the western disturbance’s impact on the mountains, which will likely result in some rain and snowfall. The hottest point will be 16 degrees, and the maximum will be 30 degrees.
In between, Tuesday’s smallest and maximum temperatures were both four degrees more than normal. 32.8 degrees Celsius was the scorching recorded temperature, and 17.9 degrees was the coldest. The air was between 96 and 46 percent humid.
The Meteorological Department said that on Wednesday morning, there could be light to moderate haze, fog, and mist in various areas of the capital. Evening and night are going to feature more mist and haze. During the day, the sky will usually be clear, and the temperature is projected to reach a maximum of 33 degrees Celsius and a minimum of 17 degrees Celsius.
On November 12, smog conditions were common in most of Haryana, says Dr. Madan Khichad, Head of the Department of Agricultural Meteorology at Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. Smog is a state of air pollution that is created by dust, smoke, and haze or an excess of moisture. After noon, smog conditions went away.
This was primarily caused by a weak western disturbance that moved towards the mountains on November 11. Slow easterly winds increased the level of moisture in the atmosphere, which in turn prompted dust and other pollutants to condense in the lower atmosphere, creating smog. A slight increase in cold nights was also noted.
The weather will remain like this till November 17.
On November 17th, the state’s weather is expected to stay dry, just usually unknown. Due to the possibility of north and northwestern winds blowing at a light speed, the state’s smog situation could slightly improve on November 13 and 14. But starting on the evening of November 14, a weak western disturbance moving towards the mountains may cause partial clouds and light smog at times due to easterly winds blowing on November 15–16.
After this, starting on November 17, the temperature during the day will likely remain around normal, with the chance of a slight drop in the temperature at night due to the north and northwestern winds blowing at an average rate again.
