The air quality in Indian cities has taken a sharp dip with Air Quality Index (AQI) levels crossing severe limits in many urban areas.

Cities like Delhi, Lucknow, and Kolkata have reported AQI levels exceeding 400, entering the ‘severe’ category.

Using the Weather&Radar App, users can monitor real-time AQI levels in their city and take precautions like staying indoors and using masks when air quality worsens.
