Weather and AQI predictions

Uttarakhand's weather has been unusually warm for February, with March-April-like temperatures. This is due to dry conditions in most districts for months, resulting in a lack of rain and snowfall. The dry conditions have reduced atmospheric moisture, and strong sunlight has contributed to higher temperatures.

This warm spell has affected people, with many struggling against strong sunlight and dry winds. Such weather changes can increase disease spread, with many residents experiencing viral flu due to the temperature difference between day and night.

Dehradun's air quality is a concern today. The Air Quality Index (AQI) is 383, in the "poor" category, meaning it's unhealthy, and residents should avoid outdoor activities.
