The city will experience clear skies and a gentle breeze, though sensitive individuals are advised to take precautions due to yesterday's 'Poor' air quality index of 195, even as a slight improvement was noted compared to the previous week.
Today's weather in Kolkata is well-suited for those who enjoy spending time outdoors.
The day will begin with a crisp sunrise at 5:52 AM. Temperatures are projected to gradually climb to a high of 29.6°C by the afternoon.
The evening will see a significant cool-down to 18.4°C, providing a comfortable conclusion to the day. Humidity levels are expected to remain moderate at 47 percent. Winds will be light, averaging around 10.8 kilometers per hour.
There is no chance of rain, and the skies are forecast to stay clear throughout the entire day. For those planning an evening outing, a pleasant cool breeze is expected to begin around sunset at 4:52 PM.
However, air quality remains a concern for the city. Yesterday’s AQI-IN of 195 fell into the 'Poor' category, with PM2.5 levels at 93.
The primary pollutants identified were PM2.5 and PM10, with concentrations measured at 93 µg/m³ and 115 µg/m³, respectively. Carbon monoxide levels were also elevated, recorded at 497 µg/m³. While today’s clear skies and moderate winds might help disperse pollutants slightly, the lingering effects of yesterday’s poor air quality could still impact sensitive groups.
Sensitive individuals should still consider wearing masks, especially in high-traffic areas. Those with respiratory conditions or allergies should limit prolonged outdoor exposure, particularly in traffic-heavy zones.
With sunny skies and comfortable temperatures, today is ideal for outdoor activities such as a visit to the park or a riverside stroll. However, given the lingering pollution, it is advisable to carry sunglasses and a mask, particularly if one will be near busy roads. Early morning and late evening are considered the best times to enjoy the outdoors, as pollution levels are typically lower during these hours. Staying hydrated throughout the day is recommended, and considering the use of air purifiers indoors can help maintain a healthy environment.
Kolkata’s weather over the next week is expected to remain consistently pleasant. Daytime highs will hover around 29°C, with nighttime lows dropping to between 18 and 19°C. The skies are forecast to stay clear, with no rain expected in the coming days.
Wednesday and Thursday will experience slightly warmer afternoons, with temperatures potentially reaching up to 29.8°C. Friday and Saturday will offer cooler evenings, making them suitable for outdoor plans. This consistent weather pattern allows for confident scheduling of outdoor activities, though it is always wise to check the air quality before heading out.
While yesterday’s AQI of 195 was still in the 'Poor' category, it marked a slight improvement compared to the previous week’s consistently higher levels. This could indicate a gradual improvement, especially if the current weather conditions persist. However, sustained efforts to reduce emissions and manage traffic congestion will be crucial to maintaining this trend.
