Delhi and surrounding regions braced for rain and potential air quality improvements over the weekend, with scattered showers expected on Sunday and more widespread aqi anticipated early next week. Meanwhile, weather alerts were issued, with Ghaziabad, Noida, Delhi, and Gurugram experiencing yellow alerts due to poor air quality or other environmental and weather conditions.
Temperatures in Delhi reached a high of 34.1°C and a low of 24.2°C on Sunday. Orange alerts for rain were issued for Delhi and Gurugram, lasting until 3:42 am and 2:08 am respectively. In Ghaziabad and Noida, yellow alerts were in effect until 1:55 am. Cold northwesterly winds are set to cause a dip in minimum temperatures from Wednesday onwards.

The Gelbe Alert in the Delhi region could have been triggered by poor air quality, strong rainfall, or other environmental or weather conditions. Air pollution, particularly during autumn and winter, is a persistent issue in Delhi and surrounding states like Uttar Pradesh. It can cause significant health impacts due to dust, particles, and other pollutants. Extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain or storms, can also trigger alerts, serving as a precautionary measure for the public.
Delhi and nearby areas are expected to experience rain and a drop in temperatures, which could help improve air quality. Weather alerts have been issued, with the exact cause of the Gelbe Alert on September 6th needing confirmation from official sources. As the weather system evolves, residents are advised to stay updated and take necessary precautions.
