May 8, 2025: After rain, air quality goes back to being unhealthy

While unseasonal showers in Delhi provided momentary relief to residents from the heat and pollution in the past few days, pollution levels went back to the unhealthy category on Thursday.

The PM 2.5 levels at Raisina Hills was 72, PM 10 was 83 and the AQI was 174, which falls in the unhealthy range.
