This rain will act as a medicine for those cities of North India, including Delhi NCR, where the air pollution is at the Very Poor category. Improvement in poor air quality is mainly possible in only two ways, one when high winds blow and the other when there is heavy rain.

Based on the current weather scenario, we can say that strong wind will not move during the coming 48 to 72 hours, but the possibility of rain during the next 24 hours will clear this pollution to some extent, improving the Air Quality Index.

The Union ministry’s air quality monitoring centre, System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR), said despite the spike, this Diwali week is likely to be better than the impact seen over the last four years.

The forecast said that a western disturbance passing over Delhi-NCR is likely to improve the wind speed over the city by Sunday afternoon, helping disperse the pollution particles that have accumulated close to the surface.

By Monday, the impact of light rain in parts of NCR and high wind speed will be seen more clearly, Hindustan Times reported.
