Air Quality in India

Monitoring air quality matters, especially if you have asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions. The current Air Quality Index (AQI) in India is 60, rated as Moderate.

Breaking down the key pollutants: PM2.5 (fine particulate matter) is at 18.7 µg/m³ — these are tiny particles that can penetrate deep into the lungs and even enter the bloodstream. PM10 (coarser particles) measures 21 µg/m³. Ozone (O₃) sits at 132 µg/m³, which is elevated and may cause discomfort during outdoor exercise. Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) is at 1 µg/m³, primarily from vehicle emissions, while sulphur dioxide (SO₂) reads 7.4 µg/m³. Carbon monoxide levels are 206 µg/m³.

Moderate air quality. The general population is unlikely to be affected, but people with heart or lung disease, older adults, and children should consider reducing prolonged outdoor exertion.

UV Index and Sun Protection in India

Today’s maximum UV Index in India is 7, classified as High. This is a high UV level. Apply SPF 30 or higher sunscreen generously, wear protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses. Limit your time in direct sunlight between 11 AM and 3 PM.

Today in India, the sun rises at 6:43 AM and sets at 6:11 PM, giving you approximately 11 hours and 28 minutes of daylight. A typical daylight duration for this time of year. Golden hour photography enthusiasts will want to be ready about 30 minutes before sunset for the best light.

What to Wear in India Today

Figuring out the right outfit can save you a lot of discomfort. Based on today’s conditions in India, here’s what we recommend:

Warm and pleasant conditions call for comfortable summer clothing — a t-shirt or light blouse, shorts or a light skirt, and comfortable shoes. Evenings will cool down, so toss a light jacket or cardigan into your bag for later.

What Is the Climate Like in India?

India sits within the tropical zone, meaning warm to hot temperatures year-round with relatively small seasonal variation. The main weather driver here isn’t temperature change but rather the wet and dry seasons. During the rainy season, expect heavy afternoon downpours, high humidity, and lush green landscapes. The dry season brings sunny, warm days with lower humidity — generally considered the most comfortable time to visit.

At 686 meters above sea level, India sits at a moderate elevation that subtly influences its weather. Expect slightly cooler conditions compared to coastal or low-lying areas in the same region, and be prepared for occasional variations that altitude can bring.

In February, which falls in winter — the coldest months with short days, and potential for snow or frost depending on location, conditions in India are typical of the seasonal pattern. The forecast data above gives you the most accurate real-time picture of what to expect right now.

Travel Tips for India

Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning traveler, understanding the local weather helps you make the most of your time in India. Here are some practical tips:

Packing essentials: Based on current conditions, your suitcase should include light, breathable clothing, sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen SPF 30+), comfortable walking shoes, and a reusable water bottle.

Best time of day for outdoor activities: With today’s conditions, most of the day should work well for outdoor activities. Plan longer excursions during the warmest part of the day if temperatures are on the cool side.
