Weather rescues city’s air: 2nd cleanest post-Diwali since 2015

Delhi’s air quality plummets to ‘very poor’ levels post-Diwali due to increased firecracker usage, stubble burning, and local emissions. Favorable weather conditions, including high wind speeds and above-normal temperatures, prevent it from reaching ‘severe’ levels. Authorities warn of worsening pollution in the coming days due to rising stubble burning incidents.
