Air quality in Tashkent: improvement expected on the morning of November 2
On the night of November 2, air quality may reach a "unhealthy" level according to the international AQI, and a "yellow" level according to the national index.
On the night of November 2, air quality in Tashkent is expected to be at an «unhealthy» level according to the International Air Quality Index (AQI), and at a «yellow» level according to the national index.
It is noted that a drop in temperature, weak wind, and strong temperature inversion limit air exchange in the lower layers of the atmosphere. As a result, PM2.5 and PM10 particles may accumulate in the layer near the earth's surface.
Also, the slow movement of air masses around the city over the past day is making the dispersion of pollutants more difficult.
According to forecasts, on November 2, after sunrise, air quality may also improve due to rising temperatures and improved vertical air exchange.
