Hindustan Times|November 22, 2024
The Capital's five-day streak of "severe" air finally broke on Thursday giving some reliefat least in relative terms - to millions of citizens as fast winds and drop in intensity of fog allowed sunlight to pierce through the haze for the first time in days.

The average Air Quality Index (AQI) fell to 371 ("very poor") on Thursday at 4pm, when the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) releases its national bulletin an improvement from Wednesday's reading of 419 ("severe") at the same time. This snapped a five-day streak of "severe" air which saw Delhi's AQI soar to 494 (severe) on Mondayits joint second highest ever.

Forecasts by the Centre's Early Warning System for Delhi (EWS) suggest that with only shallow to moderate fog expected in the coming days, the air quality is likely to hover in the "very poor" category through Sunday.
