Delhi Weather LATEST Update: Delhi-NCR residents struggling with toxic air may get some relief as changing weather conditions could improve pollution levels. A western disturbance approaching from November 10 is expected to influence wind patterns
Delhi-NCR could see a change in weather conditions from November 10 as a fresh western disturbance is expected to influence the northwestern Himalayan region. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the approaching system could trigger changes in wind speed and direction across the region.
The development comes at a time when Delhi and neighbouring areas are battling deteriorating air quality, with fog and smog affecting visibility during morning hours. Stronger and cooler winds could help disperse accumulated pollutants, potentially improving the air quality across the national capital and adjoining cities.
However, the extent of relief will depend on how the weather system develops and influences local atmospheric conditions.
