Impact & Risks

The drop in temperatures provides relief from the recent heat, making conditions more comfortable for residents. However, the air quality, while improved, remains in the 'moderate' category, which may still pose health risks for sensitive groups such as children, the elderly, and individuals with respiratory conditions. Prolonged exposure to moderate AQI levels can cause minor health discomforts, especially for those with pre-existing health issues.
