• New Delhi is experiencing a heatwave with temperatures recorded at 34°C as of 10:00 AM on 4 October
• The weather conditions include haze, with a 'feels like' temperature of 31°C. Humidity levels are at 20%, and wind speeds are measured at 13.7 km/h coming from the west (280 degrees). The UV index is high at 5.3, and air pressure is stable at 1012 mb. Visibility is reduced to 4.8 km due to the haze, and no precipitation has been recorded. These conditions are contributing to poor air quality, with pollutants trapped near the ground due to calm winds and high pressure.

Impact & Risks

The ongoing heatwave and haze in New Delhi are exacerbating air quality issues, posing health risks to residents, especially those with respiratory conditions. Poor visibility and elevated levels of particulate matter may affect outdoor activities and transportation. The high UV index also increases the risk of skin damage for those exposed to direct sunlight. Vulnerable groups, including children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing health conditions, are advised to take precautions.
