We do not expect any significant relief until January 6 as the winds will continue to change direction. Any moderate to strong wind would remain absent from the area.

The only ray of hope is the slight possibility of scattered rains over Delhi-NCR around January 6 which may wash away the pollutants. However, it is too early for that and we have wait and watch as predicting the intensity of these rains at this time will not be wise, according to Skymet

There is a slight expectation that this will bring some relief from the ongoing pollution.

Bengaluru, Chennai

Weather will remain dry over the southern states. However, isolated light to very light rain may occur over South Tamil Nadu and a few places of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
