New Delhi, August 15: On Independence Day, August 15, pleasant weather is anticipated in Delhi-NCR due to active monsoon conditions. Cloud cover will persist, and light rain may provide relief from the heat. The local weather forecast indicates a likelihood of continuous cloudiness and light rain from August 15 to August 20.
According to the meteorological department, the maximum temperature on August 15 is expected to reach 32 degrees Celsius, with a minimum of 26 degrees. Humidity levels may range between 80% and 90%. The forecast suggests generally overcast skies with light rain. On August 16, a slight increase in temperature is expected, with a maximum of 34 degrees and a minimum of 24 degrees. The weather will likely remain cloudy with light rain.
On August 17, the maximum temperature is also projected to be 34 degrees, with a minimum of 24 degrees. Following this, on August 18, temperatures are expected to be around 33 degrees maximum and 23 degrees minimum. On August 19, temperatures may range between 34 and 23 degrees, with cloudy conditions and the possibility of light rain or drizzle. By August 20, the maximum temperature could again reach 34 degrees, with a minimum of 24 degrees. Overall, the week is expected to see moderate temperatures, with clouds and rain offering relief from the heat.
In addition to the weather, air quality in Noida appears relatively favorable. The AQI in Sector 125 is recorded at 70, Sector 62 at 60, Sector 1 at 90, and Sector 116 at 99. Based on these figures, air quality at major monitoring stations in Noida is categorized as satisfactory.
However, the air quality in Delhi is not uniform across all areas. Reports indicate an AQI of 201 in Anand Vihar and Bawana, while Ashok Vihar recorded 89, Aaya Nagar 58, Cantonment Area 103, Chandni Chowk 104, Commonwealth Sports Complex 63, and Mathura Road 81. This suggests that while some areas in Delhi have better air quality, several pollution hotspots remain in relatively poor condition.
In Ghaziabad, among six active stations, AQI readings are as follows: Govindpuram at 56, Indirapuram 74, Loni 107, Sanjay Nagar 68, Vasundhara 92, and Ved Vihar-Loni 120. The figures for Govindpuram, Indirapuram, Sanjay Nagar, and Vasundhara are relatively better, while Loni and Ved Vihar-Loni have AQI levels exceeding 100. The ongoing rain and cloud cover are expected to help control temperatures in Delhi-NCR.
While light rain may pose a challenge during open-air events on Independence Day, it is likely to provide relief from extreme heat and dry conditions. The local weather forecast does not indicate any warnings from August 15 to August 20.
