Upcoming Week's Outlook

The upcoming week's forecast indicates continued rainfall patterns. September 6 will see increased precipitation with temperatures rising to 34.3°C, followed by moderate to heavy showers on September 7 with a high of 35.4°C.

Rainfall intensity will decrease on September 8, though humid conditions will continue. September 9 will provide a dry spell with temperatures reaching 36.3°C, making it optimal for outdoor activities.

Light rain will return on September 10 and 11, with temperatures around 34°C. The week will conclude with alternating sunny and cloudy conditions.

The weather department anticipates that these rain patterns could help improve air quality by settling airborne pollutants and dust particles. This temporary improvement follows yesterday's moderate AQI reading.

Traffic-heavy areas may still experience elevated pollution levels despite the rain. Protective measures such as masks are recommended in these locations.
