Air quality is steadily deteriorating in several cities of Uttar Pradesh. The air in ten cities of the state has reached the poor category. Haze has covered the capital Lucknow and the industrial city of Kanpur, while the Air Quality Index (AQI) in Prayagraj was recorded above 500. The rising pollution levels have increased public concern. Visibility is also being affected by haze during the morning and evening hours.
Amid the air pollution, signs of a change in the state’s weather are also emerging. According to the weather forecast, severe cold is likely to set in across Uttar Pradesh after the next three days. With a drop in temperature, the impact of cold winds may increase.
The changing weather and rising pollution levels could become a double challenge for people. Children, the elderly and those suffering from respiratory problems, in particular, need to take precautions. The weather and air quality situation will continue to be monitored in the coming days.
