Rainfall on Tuesday made January the wettest in Delhi in four years, with a total of 25 mm recorded. However, it failed to improve air quality, pushing the AQI to 336. The IMD forecasts temperature fluctuations and light rain on February 1.
Delhi's average air quality index (AQI) in January 2026 so far stands at 307, marking the second-best January air quality in five years. According to a CREA report, the month has seen two moderate days, 12 poor days, 14 very poor days, and two severe days. The data is sourced from the Central Pollution Control Board.

Following the activation of Phase I on December 25 due to Christmas fireworks and bonfires, Mexico State suspended the Atmospheric Environmental Contingency on December 26, 2025, as PM2.5 levels improved to acceptable ranges. The Alert Phase persists in Valle de Toluca and Santiago Tianguistenco due to ongoing pollutants, with normal Hoy No Circula rules in effect—no double restrictions.

Dense fog and intense cold persisted in Delhi on Tuesday, December 23, disrupting flight and train services for the second consecutive day amid the city's ongoing winter weather crisis. Monday saw over 500 flights delayed and 14 cancelled at Indira Gandhi International Airport, with air quality at a very poor AQI of 373.
A large-scale international study has found that long-term exposure to fine particulate air pollution substantially reduces the protective effect of regular physical activity against premature death. Drawing on data from more than 1.5 million adults across several countries, the research shows that exercise’s life-extending benefits are markedly weaker in areas with high levels of PM2.5 pollution, underscoring the importance of cleaner air to maximise health gains.
