Tricity breathes cleaner air as monsoon rains push AQI to safe levels
The Tricity of Chandigarh, Panchkula and Mohali is witnessing a marked improvement in air quality this July, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) dipping into the 'good' and 'satisfactory' ranges after weeks of monsoon showers. Real-time data from on Friday shows Chandigarh's AQI at 54, Mohali at 48 and Panchkula at 62, all indicating minimal health risks even for sensitive groups. Earlier this month, on July 11, Chandigarh had registered an AQI of 74 and Panchkula 82, showing the cleansing effect of consistent rainfall. This contrasts sharply with May and June, when dry, dusty conditions kept AQI levels in the 'moderate' to 'poor' bands. Chandigarh recorded an AQI of 107 on May 7, peaking at 135 later in the month. June saw a high of 118, with levels fluctuating between 76 and 118. Panchkula and Mohali experienced similar trends, with the AQI frequently in the 80–150 range, worsened by heatwaves, high traffic emissions and stagnant air. June 6 in Chandigarh, for example, recorded an AQI of 101 as temperatures hit 39°C and rainfall remained negligible. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) attributes July's clean air to steady showers that have helped settle dust and disperse pollutants, with even light rain of 0.01 mm/hr proving effective. Enforcement measures, such as regular pollution checks of vehicles, have supported these natural gains. The AQI on Friday stands far below November 2024's 'very poor' level of 302 in Panchkula, when stubble burning in neighbouring districts had blanketed the region in smog. With the IMD forecasting more rainfall in the coming weeks, experts expect the Tricity to maintain healthy air quality, offering residents a respite from the pollution-related discomforts of early summer.
