Today's reading is shown live in the air-quality card on this page, as a US AQI number with PM2.5 and PM10 levels and an hourly trend. Air quality across the Indo-Gangetic plain usually worsens from late October to January, when cool, still air traps smoke and dust near the ground. Monsoon rain clears the air best. Check the hourly AQI before outdoor exercise, especially if you have asthma or a heart or lung condition.
