Delhi Weather Today: February Temperature To Cross 30°C, AQI Remains Poor

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast a steady rise in temperatures across North India, with Delhi expected to touch 31°C by February 23. This marks an early departure from winter, as the city transitions into warmer conditions much sooner than usual.  

While the sunny weather may be welcome for some, the AQI in Delhi continues to hover around the ‘poor’ category, with levels recorded at 177. High humidity and stagnant air are contributing to pollution build-up, affecting visibility and respiratory health.  

Experts note that the premature rise in temperatures is part of a broader trend of unseasonal warmth across the northern plains. Citizens are advised to stay hydrated, avoid prolonged exposure to polluted air, and use protective masks when outdoors.

• Delhi temperature expected to cross 30°C in February  
• AQI remains in the ‘poor’ category at 177
