Thus, Delhi Pollution may see a marginal improvement becoming very poor but will slip to very severe in nature. Winds will only become strong around November 11. Thus, for some time, Delhi Pollution will see no significant improvement.
Two weather factors are crucial for reducing air pollution. First is widespread rainfall which help in washing down the pollutants. Another is is moderate to strong winds which usually disperse the pollutants. But unfortunately, we do not foresee any of these weather activities during next one week or so.
We do not expect any significant increase in wind speed in coming days. Another factor which is essential to wash away the pollutants is moderate to heavy rain. We do not expect any significant rainfall for at least next 4 to 5 days. Therefore, chances of relief from ongoing air pollution is ruled out.
We do not expect any of these weather factors to occur during the next few days. North westerly winds will continue for next few days and these winds will gradually reduce the pollution to poor category.
Relief from air pollution can be achieved only by the influence of two weather factors. One of them is heavy rain and the other is continuous strong winds from the same direction. Right now, there is no chance of rain, but the good news is that from November 6, strong winds will blow from the north-west direction, which can give a lot of relief from air pollution.
