Delhi records 2nd highest no. of ‘satisfactory' air days, as of mid-August
The Capital witnessed light showers on Sunday, which helped maintain Delhi's air quality in the 'satisfactory' category, with a 24-hour average air quality index (AQI) of 91—down from a reading of 118 ('moderate')—recorded a day earlier, according to the Central Pollution Board's (CPCB's) daily bulletin. This maintained Delhi's trend of rainfall and windy conditions largely keeping Delhi's air in the 'satisfactory' range, marking the 53rd time this year, the highest number of such days recorded until August 17 since 2020, according to CPCB data. On Sunday, Delhi's base weather station at Safdarjung logged 0.2mm of rainfall between 8.30am and 5.30pm. (Sanchit Khanna/HT Photo) In the corresponding period last year, Delhi logged 37 such days, with no 'good' air day – when the AQI is 50 or lower. It logged 46 'satisfactory' air days in 2023, 44 in 2022, 36 in 2021, 76 in 2020, 28 in 2019, 28 in 2018, 27 in 2017 and only 14 such days till this point in 2016. 'The cleaner air this year, compared to previous years, is largely due to the early onset of rains from May, which helped wash down pollutants. While meteorological factors have been the primary driver for more days of better air quality, minor contributions may also come from improved fuel standards, a growing fleet of BS-VI and electric vehicles, and possibly reduced construction activity,' said Sunil Dahiya, founder and lead analyst at think-tank Envirocatalysts. Dahiya said the real test will come in winter, but this was still a silver lining. To be sure, the air quality was relatively better in 2020, as the Covid-19-induced lockdown curbed polluting activities. CPCB's AQI was launched in April 2015, making 2016 the first year of full data. 'By implementing targeted measures to cut emissions at source, we can ensure better air quality this winter compared to past years,' Dahiya said. Delhi narrowly missed out on a 'good' air day last month, with the lowest AQI for the day clocked at 51 ('satisfactory') on July 15. The last time Delhi had a good air day in the period January 1-August 17 was in 2020, a lockdown year. Before that, it happened in 2019, again aided by rain. While 'satisfactory' days are a sign of improvement, Delhi has also yet to record a single 'severe' air day—when the AQI is over 400—this year. The last time this happened was in 2017. Delhi had three 'severe' air days in the corresponding period last year, three in 2023; one in 2022; six in 2021; two in 2020, seven in 2019, six in 2018, none in 2017 and six in 2016. 'We have had ample rains and consistent spells this year. May saw excess rain and since then, each month has recorded surplus rain again. It has been a combination of active weather systems and a good monsoon,' said Mahesh Palawat, vice president at Skymet, stating regular spells have meant pollutants and dust keep getting washed away. On Sunday, Delhi's base weather station at Safdarjung logged 0.2mm of rainfall between 8.30am and 5.30pm. August has so far recorded 257.7mm of rainfall, an excess over the monthly normal mark of 233.1mm. Excess rainfall has been recorded since May, which was the wettest May ever on record with 186.4mm of rainfall, over six times the normal average of 30.7mm. In June, Delhi recorded 107.1mm of monthly rainfall, an excess of 45% over the long-period average (LPA) of 74.1mm. In July, Delhi received 259.3mm of rainfall, which was 24% more than the LPA of 209.7mm. The IMD has forecasted one to two spells of very light to light rain during the day on Monday, with a spell of light rain likely towards the night too.

Erin weakens to a Category 3 hurricane, but expected to strengthen anew and grow in size
Hurricane Erin weakened to a Category 3 hurricane on Sunday, its outer bands lashing the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, as forecasters warned the storm was rapidly growing in size and would gain new strength. Erin, the first Atlantic hurricane of 2025, reached an exceedingly dangerous Category 5 status Saturday before weakening.(AP) While Erin's maximum winds diminished, its overall size grew and forecasters issued tropical storm warnings for the Turks and Caicos Islands and the southeast Bahamas. The hurricane's outer bands were pelting parts of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands with heavy rains and tropical-storm winds during the day. The storm wasn't expected to directly impact the US East Coast, but by doubling or tripling in size it could bring rip currents all along the coast. Gusty winds and flooding tides could wash out parts of the highway that connects the North Carolina Outer Banks by midweek, the National Weather Service said. Bermuda could have similar conditions as Erin is forecast to turn to the north and then northeast, forecasters said. Erin, the first Atlantic hurricane of 2025, reached an exceedingly dangerous Category 5 status Saturday with maximum winds of 160 mph (260 kph) before weakening. The storm's maximum sustained winds were 125 mph (205 kph) Sunday afternoon, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami. The winds decreased as the storm went through internal changes. Erin is expected to remain powerful for the next several days and is expected to strengthen somewhat over the next 48 hours as it grows, forecasters said Sunday afternoon. 'You're dealing with a major hurricane. The intensity is fluctuating. It's a dangerous hurricane in any event,' said Richard Pasch of the National Hurricane Center. Erin's center was about 275 miles (445 kilometers) northwest of San Juan, Puerto Rico, and 165 miles (270 kilometers) east of Grand Turk Island, moving west-northwest at 13 mph (20 kph). On the forecast track, the core of Erin was expected to pass to the east and northeast of the Turks and Caicos and the southeastern Bahamas overnight and on Monday. The rain and winds from the outer bands of the storm left about 147,000 customers without power Sunday morning in Puerto Rico, according to Luma Energy, a private company that oversees the transmission and distribution of power on the island. The weather canceled more than 20 flights, officials said. Swells were also expected to affect portions of the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola and the Turks and Caicos Islands during the next couple of days, forecasters said. The Coast Guard allowed all ports in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands to reopen on Sunday as winds and rains in the area decrease. A tropical storm warning means tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area, and in this case, within 24 hours, the hurricane center said. Heavy rain is still expected across the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, with rainfall of 3 to 6 inches (about 7.6 to 15 centimeters), with 8 inches (20 centimeters) in some isolated areas. Scientists have linked the rapid intensification of hurricanes in the Atlantic to climate change. Global warming is causing the atmosphere to hold more water vapor and is spiking ocean temperatures, and warmer waters give hurricanes fuel to unleash more rain and strengthen more quickly.
