Many areas are reporting AQI readings close to 600, highlighting the urgency of addressing this pollution crisis.

On Saturday, the minimum temperature in Delhi was recorded at 15.3 degrees Celsius, marking the lowest temperature of the season so far.

The maximum temperature reached about 29.6 degrees Celsius, slightly above the normal range for this time of year. As the winter season progresses, fluctuations in temperature are typical, but the persistent fog and cold winds have made this season particularly challenging.
