The India Meteorological Department has issued alerts for Cyclone Murasu affecting four states, while Delhi-NCR continues to experience a dry spell with hazardous air quality levels.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has placed four states on high alert as Cyclone Murasu approaches the region. The meteorological agency has issued specific warnings for these areas to prepare for potential adverse weather conditions associated with the cyclonic system.
In contrast, the capital region of Delhi-NCR is currently experiencing a prolonged dry spell. This lack of rainfall has contributed to deteriorating air quality, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) reaching hazardous levels for residents.
The IMD report highlights the distinct weather patterns affecting different parts of the country simultaneously. While the coastal and adjacent regions brace for the cyclone, the northern plains continue to grapple with dry conditions and poor air quality.
Authorities in the affected states are advised to monitor the situation closely and take necessary preventive measures. Residents in Delhi-NCR are urged to take precautions against the hazardous air quality, such as wearing masks and limiting outdoor activities.
