Rain, clouds & rising humidity leave residents uncomfortable
Indore: Thursday brought an unusual mix of weather to Indore, with cloudy skies, intervals of sunshine, and a lingering sense of humidity following Wednesday evening's showers.
While the day began with a pleasant drop in temperatures, rising moisture levels by afternoon made the weather increasingly uncomfortable for residents.
The
India Meteorological Department
(IMD) reported that Indore's maximum temperature on Thursday settled at 36.4 degrees Celsius—four degrees below normal for this time of year. By 5:30 PM, the mercury dipped to 32 degrees Celsius, and the minimum (night) temperature was recorded at 23.9 degrees Celsius.

New Delhi [India], June 7 (ANI): In view of rising pollution levels, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) has enforced Stage-I of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) in Delhi-NCR with immediate effect. The action came after Delhi's Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded at 209, which falls under the 'Poor' category. The decision was a comprehensive review by the CAQM Sub-Committee, which convened on Saturday and reviewed the air quality scenario in the region, as well as the IMD/IITM forecasts and air quality index of Delhi comprehensively.
