Air Quality in Delhi: What do you need to know?

Delhi is the capital of india, in the middle of the country. It is beautiful, has great views, fun things to do, parks, playgrounds historical sites. Delhi is pleasant. The Harmattan in winter is dusty, and the dry season following quite hot, but with summer rains life outside becomes cooler. Expat communities are tight, and it is easy enough to meet people, although I mostly hang out with Nigerians, but that is my personal choice, not a necessity.

Delhi experiences extreme weather. It either tends to be too cold or too hot. During May to July, the temperatures can soar up high accompanied with dust storms, making the region very dusty due to which most activities are conducted indoors during these months. During the monsoon season, the temperatures tend to lower a bit due to frequent showers. The months from October to March, however, tend to be the better months in the city due to the mild temperature during that period. December and January tend to get pretty nippy, so do come equipped with woollen clothes and warm bedding and upholstery.

Delhi is much for its history as it is for its cultural and political significance. The city brings a shade of art, architecture, fashion, entertainment together. Walking its dusty lane is more like stepping inside the history book. There is an umpteen number of historical places to visit apart from its modern scenic beauty.

Delhi, the capital of India, is well known for its diverse society and legacy, remarkable British and Mughal architecture, Metro, Asia’s biggest wholesale market of staple, street food like Chhole Bhature, among others. On the other hand, this city is infamous for hazardous levels of air pollution.

Something for middle-class people: If you are not rich then you should get habitual of saving money. Even a ‘barf ka Gola’ is going to cost you around RS 30. If you are planning to go to a ‘nice restaurant’ for once then you can but you will run out of money for the entire month.

Useful tips:
– Get a metrocard and prefer metro over any other modes of transport because it is cheap, convenient, and keeps you safe from Delhi’s pollution.
– Use E-rickshaw and DTC buses.

Things you’ll experience in Delhi:
– Smog: In winter, be ready to witness a new kind of fog, that is smog. Initially, maybe you will think it is fog but eventually it will burn your eyes and it decreases the visibility of the roads and maybe you will see this fog kind of thing even in your room.
– Cheap shopping: Maybe other things are pretty expensive here but shopping is going to balance this. You can go to Sarojini and many other places for the cheapest clothes.
– The feeling of summer even in the rainy season: If it is not raining in the rainy season then you can get the feeling of summer.
– Minimum rainfall: If you are not from Haryana, Punjab, and Rajasthan be ready for this new change. The major cause of minimum rainfall here is ‘Delhi’s Pollution’.
