Delhi's Post-Diwali Air Quality Sees Unexpected Improvement

• Despite widespread firecracker use and increased stubble burning, Delhi's air quality improved the day after Diwali due to favorable weather conditions.
• Brisk winds and above-normal temperatures helped disperse pollutants, making it the second cleanest post-Diwali day since 2015.
• The average AQI spiked to 362 by Friday morning but later subsided to a daily average of 339.
• Experts warn that rising stubble burning incidents in Punjab could worsen air quality in the coming days.
• Meteorologists attribute the improvement to high mixing heights and sustained wind speeds, which prevented pollutants from settling near the ground.
