Yesterday, on Friday, November 28, Kolkata’s air quality remained firmly in the 'poor' category. The Air Quality Index for that day was recorded at 207.
The primary pollutants identified in the air were PM2.5 and PM10. PM2.5 was measured at 106 µg/m³, while PM10 was recorded at 134 µg/m³.
Carbon monoxide levels were also notably high, reaching 482 µg/m³. Such elevated concentrations could have caused breathing difficulties for individuals with respiratory issues.
Today’s sunny and breezy weather conditions might offer some assistance in dispersing certain pollutants. However, lingering particulate matter could still pose a challenge for residents.
This is especially true in traffic-heavy areas, where concentrations may remain higher. Therefore, carrying a mask while stepping out is advisable, particularly for sensitive groups.
With the sunny weather prevailing, it presents a great opportunity to soak up some vitamin D. However, residents are reminded to take precautions against the sun.
It is recommended to not forget sunglasses and sunscreen when heading outdoors. For those commuting through busy streets, wearing a mask will help mitigate the effects of residual pollution.
If planning an evening outing, it is wise to layer up. Temperatures are expected to dip slightly post-sunset, making evenings cooler.

Over the next five days, temperatures are projected to range between 16°C and 29.5°C. This indicates a stable and agreeable weather pattern.
December 2 is forecast to be the warmest day of the week, with temperatures peaking at 29.5°C. Conversely, December 4 will experience slightly cooler nights, with temperatures dropping to 16°C.
Overall, the weather conditions remain ideal for outdoor activities throughout the week. However, early mornings and late evenings might feel a bit chilly, suggesting the need for light layering.
Yesterday’s AQI of 207 was slightly better than the previous day’s reading of 209. This offers a marginal improvement in the overall air quality.
While still categorized as 'poor', this slight dip might signal a gradual easing of pollution levels in the city.
