What do you get when you combine extreme rains with tornado strength winds? You get rain bombs, and climate change is making them worse. After months of bushfires, rain bombs have been moving across Australia this week.
This video shows PM2.5 and AQI of our monitor (Connaught Place) and PM2.5 from the CPCB monitor (Mandir Marg) yesterday, distance 2 km. Both PM2.5 values are similar and we focus on AQI in our map. When only PM2.5 is provided, CPCB's calculator can be used to calculate the AQI.
The rare clean skies in Delhi resulted for a change in Air Quality Index in the past week. Can Delhi sustain the same AQI for another week?

The AQI (Air Quality Index) scale is based on years and years of research, meant to give us information about the air to protect our health. 0-50 is considered "Good" and anything higher than 50 is harmful to the majority of us. There is no way we can ignore this!
