Additionally, a weak Western disturbance will influence North India which might bring light rainfall or snowfall in isolated areas of Jammu-Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, starting from November 3 onward. In the rest of the country, it is unlikely that there will be any significant weather.
According to the India Meteorological Department’s forecast, light to moderate scattered or very widespread rains with isolated instances of heavy rainfall are expected in the next few days for the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Delhi chokes with very poor AQI
In Delhi, the weather is anticipated to include clear skies with shallow fog in the morning, according to a report by the RWFC. However, the overall Air Quality Index (AQI) in Delhi is of concern, standing at 491 on Friday morning, categorizing it as ‘Severe’, as per the data provided by CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board).
On Thursday, the air quality index in the national capital plunged to ‘ very bad’ days. Given such a high jump in pollution levels, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced that all government schools in the national capital will be shut down on Friday and Saturday.
The Delhi government has imposed a ban on unnecessary construction work, including the plying of BS diesel and petrol vehicles in Delhi from Gurugram, Faridabad, Ghaziabad and Gautam Budh Nagar.
